c1906 WINCHESTER Model 1894 Lever Action .38-55 WCF C&R Saddle Ring CARBINE

Made in New Haven, Connecticut

Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 1894 Lever Action Saddle Ring Carbine, made in 1906 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. This Model 1894 features a 20-inch round barrel chambered in .38-55 WCF. Many gun owners favored Winchester rifles for their ability to fire the same ammunition as their pistols, though not on this example, meaning that a cowboy, trapper or stagecoach defender could take along his trusty rifle and pistol sidearm with only one supply of ammo!

The overall condition is very good. Refinished. The front sight blade and the semi buckhorn rear sight are replacements. The action is strong. The bore is bright with strong rifling. The fore end has a stable split on either side of the magazine tube. The walnut stock is otherwise in very good condition.
