Winchester Model 1894 (Model 94) in .44 Magnum — what it is, and typical specs
Short version: the Model 1894 (commonly called the Model 94 or Winchester 94) is John M. Browning’s classic lever-action rifle. Winchester produced many chamberings over the years; later production runs and special/modern variants were offered in handgun cartridges such as .44 Remington Magnum so the Model 94 could be used as a short-range brush/hunting carbine that takes advantage of the .44 Magnum’s heavy, hard-hitting bullets.
Below I’ll give a clear description plus typical / representative specs you’ll see on a Model 94 chambered for .44 Magnum. Exact numbers vary by year and model (pre-64 vs post-64 differences, special editions, barrel length options, etc.), so treat these as typical ranges rather than a single immutable spec sheet.
Description / features
Action: lever-action, tubular magazine (bottom tube under the barrel).
Receiver: forged/steel receiver (finish varies by model — blued, case-colored, stainless on some modern editions).
Stock: usually walnut (plain or checkered); modern sporter stocks sometimes laminate or synthetic on special runs.
Ejection: traditional Winchester 94 is a top-eject design (shells eject upward/outward from the top of the receiver).
Safety: original designs did not have a cross-bolt safety; later models and modern reissues may include tang or cross-bolt safeties and transfer bars depending on production year.
Capacity: tubular magazine capacity depends on barrel/magazine tube length and cartridge overall length; for .44 Magnum you should expect roughly mid-single-digits (commonly 5–8 rounds in the tube, plus one in the chamber possible) — exact count varies by model and barrel length.
Typical / representative specifications (Model 94 in .44 Magnum)
These are typical values and ranges you’ll see; check the specific rifle for exact figures.
Caliber: .44 Remington Magnum (commonly marketed as “.44 Magnum")
Overall length: ~36 – 41 in (91 – 104 cm) depending on barrel length
Barrel lengths commonly offered (representative): 16 in, 18 in, 20 in (some special runs might have 24 in or other lengths)
Weight (unloaded): ~6.0 – 7.5 lb (2.7 – 3.4 kg) depending on barrel and stock
Magazine: tubular magazine under barrel; capacity typically ~5–8 rounds (varies with cartridge OAL and tube length)
Sights: fixed blade front; rear buckhorn or semi-buckhorn adjustable; later models may have scope mounts or drilled/tapped receivers
Twist rate: varies by production and is not always published; suitable for stabilizing the heavier .44 Mag bullets commonly used in these rifles (manufacturers of Model 94 variants generally spec their twist to stabilize 200–300 gr bullets).
Typical finishes: blued steel with walnut stock is most common; some reissues/specials in stainless or case-colored finishes.
Intended uses: medium game hunting at short/medium ranges, brush/woods hunting, cowboy action/sporting, plinking, and general utility.
Ballistics (typical muzzle performance from a rifle-length barrel)
Rifle barrels give .44 Magnum higher velocity than handguns. Representative rifle performance with an ~18–20 in barrel:
240 gr bullet — ~1,600–1,900 fps (muzzle) ? ~1,400–1,900 ft·lb energy
180–200 gr bullets — typically ~1,700–2,000 fps ? energies in the 1,300–1,800 ft·lb range
(Real performance depends on exact barrel length and specific ammo / load.)
Practical notes & safety
Because the Model 94 uses a tubular magazine, many shooters prefer using flat- or round-nosed projectiles in the tube (pointed bullets can be unsafe unless specifically marketed as safe for tube magazines — e.g., polymer-tipped designs made for tubular magazines).
Lever guns like the 94 are excellent in brush/woods because of compactness, quick handling, and the .44 Mag’s stopping power on medium game at typical hunting distances.
If buying a used Model 94, check the rifle’s serial number and reference guides to determine production year and whether it’s a “pre-64" (collector-valued) or later model; small differences in the receiver/frame and internals can affect collector value and some parts interchangeability.
Winchester serial number site shows it being from 1969.
