Payment Types Accepted: checks, cashiers/bank check, money order Description: UNUSUAL SPECIAL ORDER 1894 .25-35 FULL OCT. BARREL, 1/2 MAGAZINE, SHOTGUN BUTT AND SLING-EYE SWIVELS, #229XXX. This is a rifle that went back to Winchester for a new barrel probably in the 1920s as the barrel has the late "MODEL 94" stamping on the left side. A call to the Cody Museum confirmed this as it was originally shipped in 1904 as a .38-55 with 1/2 oct. barrel and 1/2 mag., shotgun butt- rubber. There is only the correct Winchester proof mark on the barrel without any "mail order" proof indicating that it was done by Winchester. I would imagine the correct early style hook-eye swivels were installed at the same time. The receiver is mainly gray with some good blue on the loading gate and excllent screws. The barrel retains about all the blue and is fitted with a D. W. King buckhorn rear sight wth Marble blade/bead front sight. Wood is excellent with tight wood to metal fit and correct Winchester embossed hard rubber butt plate. Tight action with strong safety half-cock and bright excellent bore. A full octagon barrel with half magazine is difficult to find as standard was a round or 1/2 oct. barrel when paired with a half mag. An attractive '94 in a seldom seen configuration.
