Payment Types Accepted: Credit Card, Certified Check, Money Order Description: WINCHESTER Model 94 .30-30 WCF Lever Action Hunting/Sporting Carbine C&R WORLD WAR II Era JOHN MOSES BROWNING Designed Rifle Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 94 Lever Action Carbine, made in 1940 in New Haven, Connecticut. The credit for the design of such a prolific firearm again lies with John Moses Browning, who lent his extensive design talents to a large number of weapon types throughout his career. The Model 1894 was the first Winchester rifle made for use with the new technology of smokeless powder and was developed as a hunting rifle. Over 7.5 million were produced from 1894 until 2006. While various cartridges were supported throughout the run of the gun, the .30-30 Winchester became its staple. In practical use, the Model 1894 became a favorite for general shooters and hunters alike. To this day, it remains a deer hunting favorite, and, in all likelihood, more deer have been taken with the 1894 than any other. In April 1919, Winchester eliminated the “18” and “19” from the model names of all of the various models that were in active production. So, after this date, the Model 1894 would have been the Model 94. Somewhere around 1946, Winchester, at the other gunmakers persistence, bowed to them and renamed the cartridge to .30-30, rather than the .30 WCF (Winchester Center Fire), obviously because the other makers didn’t like the Winchester name in the cartridge their rifles were firing, along with Winchester worrying they would miss out due to everyone else calling it a .30-30. The overall condition is fine. Original finish. This example has a nice crisp action. The bore is in fine condition with sharp rifling. The walnut stock is in great shape. The Redfield receiver mounted peep sight is in fine condition and makes an excellent carbine even better. This one is marked “W” on the bottom of the receiver which is a factory QC marking for the quality of the bluing. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel is 20 inches. Caliber: .30 Winchester Center Fire (.30-30) Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING. Will need to be sent to your local FFL or C&R Licensee.
