Product Description
Early 1895 mfr. WINCHESTER Model 1894 LEVER ACTION .30-30 WCF RIFLE Antique
Iconic 2nd Year Production Repeater Made in 1895
Here we present an antique Winchester Model 1894 Lever Action Rifle, made in 1895 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 the 1920s Winchester changed the name of the Model 1894 to 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. Gray exterior. Great action. Bright bore with strong rifling. This example sports a solid walnut stock throughout containing signs of use. Clear markings. A great example of the early Winchester 1894 in the first smokeless cartridge: the .30-30!
