1927 mfr. WINCHESTER 94 SADDLE RING CARBINE .30-30 WCF Roaring Twenties C&R
John Moses Browning Design
Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 94 Lever Action Saddle Ring Carbine, made in 1927 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.
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, prior to this date, the Model 94 would have been the Model 1894. Somewhere around 1949, Winchester, at the other gunmakers persistence, bowed to them and renamed the cartridge fired here 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.
The overall condition is fine. Original finish and patina. The action is excellent and the bore is in fine condition: bright with sharp rifling. The walnut stock is in great condition with some honest use evident. This has the folding ladder sight used during this period of production, which is a favorite. A fantastic piece!
