Octagonal Barrel, Crescent Butt Plate, Tang Peep Sight

Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 1894 Lever Action Rifle, made in 1899 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.

The overall condition is good+. Original blue finish and plum patina. The action is excellent. The bore is shiny bright with strong rifling. The nose cap is missing a screw. One replacement screw visible on the left side of the receiver. The stock shows lots of use and remains solid.
