1914 WINCHESTER Model 1894 .30-30 WCF C&R
WORLD WAR I Era .30-30 Caliber Repeating Rifle
Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 1894 Lever Action Rifle, made in 1914 in New Haven, Connecticut. This one features a tapering octagonal barrel with a half-length magazine and a shotgun butt plate, giving this one a unique look.
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 become 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 very good. Some original finish has been preserved with mostly a gray patina. The action is excellent. Bright, sharply rifled bore. This example has a nice and solid stock with a smooth finish.
