LETTERED WINCHESTER M1894 Lever Action .38-55 WCF SPECIAL ORDER Rifle C&R
Repeater Made in 1903 in New Haven, Connecticut
Here we present a C&R Lettered Winchester Model 1894 Special Order Lever Action Rifle, made in 1903 in New Haven, Connecticut. This Model 1894 features a 26-inch part octagon barrel chambered in .38-55 WCF and it letters as such. It was made on 14 July 1903 and shipped 17 September 1903.
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 very good. Brown finish/patina throughout. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with strong rifling. The front sight is absent. The walnut stock shows light handling. A little shy to the frame at the right wrist. Solid throughout.
