WINCHESTER Model 1894 C&R RIFLE .32 WINCHESTER SPECIAL Turn of the Century Repeating Rifle Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 1894 Lever Action Rifle, made in 1907 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. The .32 Winchester Special (or .32 WS) is a rimmed cartridge created in October 1901 for use in the Winchester Model 94 lever-action rifle. It is similar in name but unrelated to the .32-20 Winchester cartridge (which is also known as .32 WCF). This cartridge is based on the .30-30 Winchester cartridge of 1895, but differs from the .30-30 in bullet diameter. More significantly, Winchester decreased the rate of rifling twist in their Model 94 rifle, from 1:12 when chambered for the .30-30 to 1:16 when chambered for the .32 Winchester Special. Winchester used the slower twist to reduce fouling retention when creating a new cartridge for sportsmen who wanted to reload their own ammunition using black powder and cast bullets. The overall condition is very good+. Original blue finish. The action is excellent. The bore is clean and reflective with strong rifling. The walnut stock shows use and remains solid. The rear sight is a “KING”. This is a great example of a full-length Winchester rifle in .32 Special! This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel is 26 inches. Caliber: .32 W.S.
