c1916 WINCHESTER Model 1894 .30-30 WCF Lever Action Saddle Ring Carbine C&R

WWI Era JOHN MOSES BROWNING Repeating Rifle

Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 1894 Lever Action Saddle Ring Carbine, made in 1916 in New Haven, Connecticut. This one has a 2/3 length magazine tube, which was a special feature from the factory.

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 finish/patina. Strong, crisp action. The bore is generally in very good condition with nice rifling, though there is a slight bulge about 2” from the muzzle. The stock shows use and remains solid.
