Winchester 94 30 WCF

Make: Winchester Model: 94 Caliber: 30 WCF Action: Lever Barrel: 20 Bore: Bright Serial # 1413657 Condition: Good “Collector” Manufactured in 1947 as per serial number. This Model 1894 was another Winchester lever action rifle designed by gun making genius John Moses Browning, and it became one of the most famous and popular hunting rifles of all time. It was the first commercial sporting rifle to sell over 7 million units, and was also the first commercial American repeating rifle built to be used with smokeless powder. It was introduced in 1894 in two black powder cartridges, the .32-40 and .38-55 Win. rounds, but by August 1895 Winchester had developed a different steel composition that could handle higher pressures, and the .25-35 and .30-30 WCF chamberings were introduced. As R.L. Wilson relays in his excellent reference work “Winchester An American Legend”, Winchester’s announcement of the Model 1894 in their November 1894 catalog certainly proved prophetic: “We believe that no repeating rifle system ever made will appeal to the eye and understanding of the riflemen as this will and that use will continue to warrant first impressions.” This beautiful example has a deep blued gloss finish, with stunning gloss smooth American walnut forend and straight stock with a flat steel checkered buttplate, drift front and buckhorn rear sights. It does have some very light scratching on the receiver . Please see photos.
