Winchester 94/22 Magnum BARGAIN PRICE THESE ARE NEVER FOUND AT THIS PRICE !

Description:
Considered by some to have been among the highest quality 22s (and 22 mags and 17's) every produced; see the reprint below at the end of this description. This gun is in very good but not quite excellent condition. The blue and stock finish are at 90% overall. There is no rust or pitting. On the top of the receiver there are a couple of dings which will largely be hidden when a scope is installed (groooved 22 style scope mounting) with some very light scratche on the deeply polished blued receiver. A previous repair was done to the stock on the right side around the tang and where the metal meets the wood; a good repair if not quite perfect. Because of these imperfections we are offering this gun at a price never found in a 94/22 Mag. SEE THE REPRINT BELOW
"
In designing the action for the new rifle, the engineers turned for inspiration to a reliable and honored Winchester of the past, the Model 61 pump-action .22. Although that rifle was abandoned in 1964 as too expensive to manufacture by the old methods, Winchester’s new CNC equipment could make a similar action economically feasible. The Model 61 cartridge feed mechanism was distinguished by the fact that the cartridges were under total control from the instant they departed the under-barrel tube magazine. They were held by their rims throughout the feeding process, helping to provide excellent reliability. That action was modified so that it was actuated not by pump rails, but by a traditional under-lever. The rear of the bolt was cammed up solidly into the locking recess in the frame, and there was a concealed polymer buffer above the breech to give the action a very solid feel. The two-piece firing pin could function only when the action was completely closed and locked. From the start, the action was designed to work with the .22 Winchester Magnum rimfire cartridge, and it was easy to scale it down slightly to work with the .22 long rifle round as well. It was the only lever-action .22 available that could accommodate the magnum round. The .22 LR versions could handle .22 LR, .22 Long and .22 Short cartridges interchangeably. The Model 9422 used only a traditional half-cock safety, making it appeal all the more to traditionalists.

Winchester spared no expense in making the rifle as perfect as possible. The best materials were used; a milled forged steel frame and internal parts and a walnut stock were standard. The rifle was attractive, reliable, and accurate. Careful bluing and fitting were employed. Although traditional open sights were utilized, the receiver was grooved for scope mounting if desired. Following the Model 61 precedent, the rifle could be taken down into two major assemblies plus the bolt, allowing cleaning from the breech to protect the muzzle from damage. All in all, the new gun could easily be termed a masterpiece.

From the very start, Winchester found the demand for the new rifles exceeded their capacity to produce them. One of their early ads proclaimed: “We completely underestimated the demand…Read why they’re worth waiting for.” A later ad said: “With most rimfire rifles selling for less money why are shooters standing in line to buy the Winchester 9422?” And then the ad answered its own question by touting “Forged steel. Solid walnut. Classic styling. Modern design.” The 9422 was definitely a premium rifle, and customers were willing to pay the extra bucks. Winchester quality was back with this rifle, and in a big way."
