Winchester 94 AE Big Bore 356 Winchester Near New Like 358
Beauty
Description: SALE PANDING JAY S 11/6/22 A modern iteration of Winchesters beautiful 94 with a beefed up receiver to accomodate this modern powerful round and factory re designed after a 100yrs of production to accept a scope properly mounted made possible with side ejection. Some of these were marked XTR and others not depending on year of production. A distinquishing feature is the BRILLIANT factory blue (look at the pics) of the receiver. The Big bores were chambered in 3 cals of which the 356 is the most powerful and roughly equiv. to a 358 Win. 94's are one of the most attractive classic woods rifles, handsome, light, easty to carry or put in a scabbord and well balanced. With these modern changes it turns these wonderful carbines into capable woods moose, elk and bear rifles. This gun is in as new cond with only a couple of small compression marks on the American Walnut Stock Set and othewise like new We have a good supply of ammo but 200 and 250 gr. WE ALSO HAVE ITS TWIN IN 30 30 TO BE LISTED HERE AS WELL...BUY BOTH...THEY MAKE A TERRIC PAIR FOR COLECTORS We've included a reprint below describing these fine guns below by Chuck Hawks "The Winchester Model 94 Big Bore Rifles By Chuck Hawks Model 94 Big Bore XTR (top eject model). Photo courtesy of iCollector. Winchester introduced their Model 94 Big Bore in 1978. It was built on a strengthened version of the regular Model 94 receiver intended to accommodate a new line of rimmed cartridges loaded to a maximum average pressure (MAP) of 52,000 CUP. (The internal parts were identical to the standard Model 94, only the receiver itself being beefed-up.) The new calibers were .307 Winchester, .356 Winchester and .375 Winchester. Serial numbers on Big Bore rifles were preceded by the letters "BB." The Big Bore 94 was introduced while the Winchester Repeating Arms Company was still owned by Olin. It was, in fact, the last new model introduced by Winchester RAC. I understand that butt pads on the early rifles were marked, "Winchester Repeating Arms" if manufactured before January 1981. USRAC purchased the rights to the Winchester name in 1981 and rifles made under USRAC management were marked, "U.S. Repeating Arms Co." The .307 Winchester and .356 Winchester were essentially rimmed, internally strengthened versions of the existing .308 and .358 Winchester cartridges, while the .375 Winchester was based on a slightly shortened and strengthened .38-55 case. Actually, although most owners do not realize it, .375 Big Bore 94 rifles can also shoot .38-55 cartridges, including the Buffalo Bore Heavy .38-55 +P load that exceeds the killing power of the Winchester .375 factory load. I remember reading that, had the Big Bore 94 rifle and .375 Winchester cartridge been as commercially successful as hoped, the folks at Winchester intended to introduce a .45 caliber cartridge to complete the line. The anticipated sales never developed and the project was shelved. From 1978 through 1983, Big Bore 94 rifles were built on the post-1964 top-eject action. The top eject action was supplied with standard Model 94 semi-buckhorn rear and hooded bead front sights and was drilled and tapped for receiver sights. In addition, side mounts for riflescopes were available. When the Angle-Eject action became standard across the M-94 line, starting in 1982, the Big Bore rifles incorporated the new feature. Angle-Eject allows low and overbore scope mounting and AE receivers are drilled and tapped for top mounted scope bases. A folding rear sight replaced the earlier semi-buckhorn rear sight to clear a low mounted scope. Big Bore 94 rifles received what Winchester called the XTR treatment, including a highly polished blued barreled action and a checkered walnut stock and fore end. The XTR designation was dropped in 1989, although the rifles remained the same. The stock had a straight hand and terminated in a thin rubber butt pad. (Contrary to some reports, this was not a recoil pad.) Big Bore rifles circa 1983 had a Monte Carlo comb, others had a conventional straight comb. All Big Bore 94s were carbines with 20" round barrels and a full length, under barrel tubular magazine that held six cartridges. In 1992, Winchester added an unsightly and generally disliked cross-bolt safety to the receiver of Model 94 rifles, including the Big Bore. This unnecessary safety (except to the Company lawyers) blocks the hammer when engaged. It stayed for the remaining years of Big Bore 94 production. Big Bore 94 sales never met expectations and in 1997 the .375 cartridge was dropped from the Model 94 line, followed in 1998 by the .307 and .356 Winchester cartridges. Ammunition for all three calibers remains available from Winchester in 2018. Oddly, that same year (1998), the .444 Marlin was offered."
