1955 mfg. WINCHESTER M94 .32 W.S. Lever Action Repeater C&R DEER HUNTER 

Repeating Rifle in .32 WINCHESTER SPECIAL Caliber

Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 94 Lever Action Rifle, made in 1955 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.

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 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 fine. Original finish. The stock and forend are lightly used. The markings are crisp. Strong action with a lever that has a little wiggle. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. Drilled and tapped receiver with filler screws. Subsequently “X” suffix marked serial number.
