This Winchester Model1894, sn249663, was manufactured in 1902. The 26” octagon barrel has a bore that is an 8 out of 10 with crisp rifling and 90% factory bluing. This rifle is chambered for Winchester’s .32WS cartridge. A more powerful round when compared to the ubiquitous 30-30. According to Winchester’s original claims, the .32 WS has 5-10% more energy than the .30-30 at close ranges, an ideal bullet for close woodland hunts, and this rifle was outfitted from the factory with longer range shooting in mind as well. It has a Lyman No. 28 front sight, Lyman No. 2 rear peep site, and a unique Winchester adjustable ramp rear sight specifically designed for the .32 WS M.94. The receiver shows 85% factory bluing with some areas going to a pleasing patina mostly at the bottom edges of the receiver – righteous wear at the carry point of the gun. Wood to metal fit is superb, the screws are excellent. The wood has a handsome hue with the expected wear from many adventures in the wild and terminates in the classic crescent buttplate. This is a good and honest gun from the turn of the century and a great Winchester for any occasion! Thanks for looking!
