1920 mfg. WINCHESTER M1894 .30 WCF Lever Action SR Carbine C&R DEER HUNTER

ICONIC Hunting/Sporting Rifle in .30-30 Caliber

Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 1894 Lever Action Saddle Ring Carbine, made in 1920 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.

Somewhere around 1946, Winchester, at the other gunmakers persistence, bowed to them and renamed the cartridge to .30-30, rather than the .30 WCF (Winchester Center Fire), obviously because the other makers didn’t like the Winchester name in the cartridge their rifles were firing, along with Winchester worrying they would miss out due to everyone else calling it a .30-30.

The overall condition is good. Bright and shiny, sharply rifled bore. Strong action. Traces of original finish on the receiver. The stock and forend have been re-varnished and show average handling wear throughout. Clear markings.
