c1943 mfr. WINCHESTER Model 94 .30-30 WCF Lever Action Carbine REPEATER C&R
WORLD WAR II Era Hunting Rifle in .30-30 Caliber!
Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 94 Lever Action Carbine, made circa 1943-45 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 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 Winchester serial number records for these rifles between the years of 1943 and 1947 are not available. The last serial number recorded in 1942 was #1221280 and the first number recorded in 1948 was #1500000, which was presented to President Harry Truman in 1948. As mentioned above, because this rifle is marked as “.30 WCF” instead of “.30-30”, it is pre-1946 prior to the caliber name change.
The overall condition is fine. Nicely refinished. Excellent, crisp action. Bright bore with sharp rifling. The stock is in great shape. Sharp markings.
