Notes:
1950 Winchester Model 94 chambered in .30 W.C.F. is a highly desirable \"Pre-64\" lever-action rifle prized by both hunters and collectors. The year 1950 is highly significant for this specific firearm, as it marks the exact transition period when Winchester stopped using the historical \".30 W.C.F.\" (Winchester Center Fire) stamp and officially switched to the modern \".30-30 WIN\" barrel marking.



The Transition Year: Winchester shifted barrel stamps in the spring of 1950 around the 1,676,300 serial number range. Finding a verified 1950 model still sporting the \".30 W.C.F.\" text marks it as a highly sought-after \"early production\" run for that year.



The .30 W.C.F. and the .30-30 are the exact same cartridge. Winchester originally designed it in 1895 as America‚s first small-bore, smokeless powder sporting round. Competitors like Marlin started calling it \".30-30\" (30 caliber bullet over 30 grains of smokeless powder) to avoid putting the name \"Winchester\" on their own rifles.
