Antique 1894 Winchester. Lots Of Blue. 30-30 Caliber. Near Excellent Bore. Octagon Barrel. Very Nice..
Description: Antique 1894 Winchester. Up Date.... I just cleaned the bore after shooting and the bore is mint. Bright and shiny as new.... Here is a very nice 1894 Winchester. S/N 72813 and by Madis was made in 1896. Has the standard 26” octagon barrel. Caliber is the ever so popular 30-30. This gun retain a lot of it's factory blue. I would say the receiver has 50% blue on the left side and 30% on the right side. It is thinning but still bright. The upper and lower tang has about 90% bright blue. The bottom swivel lever block has about 75% bright blue. The lever has about 40% vivid case color just starting to fade out a little but still very visible. The hammer has most all the bright case colors. Has the early hart shaped or widows peek hammer knurling.. The barrel has about 80% bright but slightly thinning blue and the mag tube has 80% bright blue. I rate my blue with a flash light to get the true percentage.. Cloudy here today with no sun shine so the blue is much better in hand than the photos are showing.. There is a small spot of light pitting about an inch long on the lower right side of the receiver right above the lever as you can see in the photo of the right side. All the markings are excellent. The bore is mint like new as you would expect with a high condition rifle. No rings or bulges..The rear sight is the very sought after Kings full buck horn style with the correct elevator.. A $200 sight by itself. The front sight is a later replacement and a taller sight with a white bead. No markings on the front sight. Hopefully you can see these in the photos or I can send you close ups of them if you want to see them better. Most all of the screw show no tool markings but a couple have been tuned but nothing burred up and all are very serviceable. The mechanics are excellent as you would expect. It feeds, fires and ejects perfectly and shoots as good as a new gun of course. Both hammer notches are perfect and positive.. The wood is real nice also. The forearm fits very tight and proud to the metal. Still retains about 70% original varnish. Never sanded on or messed with. It show a small and very minor grain split on the left side right behind the end cap about an inch long. It is solid and hardly visible. Also a small ding or nick on the right side along the barrel channel. Nothing bad at all but just honest use. The but stock fits tight. There is a very small chip at the upper left side at the receiver and upper tang junction as you can see. A few old dings and gouges on the right side off of the upper tang.{see photos} and a small crack at the toe on both sides from being dropped on the butt plate I assume. {see photo} They are still tight and solid. Nothing loose or bad at all. The stock shows dings and scratches from honest use but no abuse. This is a well above average 94 Winchester with quit a bit of finish and a very nice bore for the money. Collector grade for sure. Call 765-728-8049 with any questions or more photos of a certain area you might want to see. I want happy customers.... I try my best to write very accurate and honest descriptions and get photos of the good and the bad... $50 insured shipping. Don't miss this one !!!!!! SOLD Antique: Yes |
