1924 mfr. WINCHESTER Model 94 .30-30 Lever Action SADDLE RING CARBINE C&R 

Roaring Twenties, Cowboy, Law Enforcement

Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 94 Lever Action Saddle Ring Carbine, made in 1924 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. Many of these were also used by law enforcement.

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, after this date, the Model 1894 would have been the Model 94. 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 to very good. Original blue finish on the barrel and magazine tube. The receiver once had a sight or mount on the left side of the receiver and the holes have been plugged. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with strong rifling. The stock shows use and remains solid.
