ICONIC Antique 1898 WINCHESTER M1894 LEVER ACTION .30 WCF Repeating RIFLE
Repeater Made in 1898 in New Haven, Connecticut
Here we present an antique Winchester Model 1894 Lever Action Rifle, made in 1898 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, prior to this date, the Model 94 would have been the Model 1894. Somewhere around 1949, Winchester, at the other gunmakers persistence, bowed to them and renamed the cartridge fired here 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.
The overall condition is fair. The barrel and forearm have been replaced with that of a Model 64. The bore is in great shape with sharp rifling. The action is functional but the hammer holding the full-cock notch is intermittent. Original finish on the barrel; refinished receiver. Solid walnut stock.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 24 inches.
Caliber: .30 Winchester Center Fire (.30-30)
