Pre-Turn of the Century Classic Repeater

Here we present an antique Winchester Model 1894 Lever Action Rifle, made in 1897 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. This Model 1894 carbine features a 20-inch round barrel chambered in .32-40 Winchester Center Fire. Many gun owners favored Winchester rifles for their ability to fire the same ammunition as their pistols, meaning that a cowboy, trapper or stagecoach defender could take along his trust rifle and pistol sidearm with only one supply of ammo!

In April 1919, Winchester eliminated the “18” and “19” from the model names of all of the various models that were in active production. So, prior to this date, the Model 94 would have been the Model 1894.

The overall condition is good. Mostly gray patina. Excellent action. Very worn bore in which the rifling looks more like Metford style than conventional land and groove. Solid stock/forearm with less than average wear (replacement buttstock). Replacement front sight.
