General Specs: Winchester, Year 1908, .30WCF, 6lbs 13oz, LOP 13 1/4" Serial Number: 465027 The Winchester Model 1894 was the first lever rifle able to fire the high-pressure smokeless powder that came with the .30 WCF, also known as the .30-30. You can just imagine the look on the cowboy’s face when his new special-order Winchester arrived. The gorgeous wood and fine factory finishes would bring jealous envy from all his family and friends. This rifle, Sn465027 built in 1908, is a SPECIAL-ORDER RIFLE with features that include the takedown feature, 24” extra light, pencil-thin, half octagon, half round barrel, 2/3 magazine, Winchester #34C Express rear sight, #21D Sporting front sight, and as was usual with any special-order Winchester 1894, upgraded and nicely figured wood. This desirable Model 1894 is in REMARKABLE FACTORY ORIGINAL CONDITION with strong, 97% dark factory barrel blue, excellent shiny bore with strong rifling, receiver blue mostly gone with a pleasing grey patina (it has not been cleaned or scrubbed), loading gate still has strong charcoal blue, about 50% fading case color on the lever and hammer, and nice finish remaining on the wood. The screws are all in near perfect condition, there are no cracks, splits, or repairs to the wood, and all the lettering and stamps are crisp and clear. Most early M1894 rifles have been used hard, so when you find a 112-year old Winchester Model 1894 in nice original condition with many special-order features it is something to take note of. This is an opportunity for you to own a factory original special-order Winchester with very desirable features. This rifle weighs 6 3/4lbs. with its 24” extra light barrel, a pound lighter than a standard rifle and only a few ounces more than an 1894 carbine. The value of collectible Winchester rifles is in the original condition rifles with special-order features and unaltered in any way since leaving the factory. The Winchester Model 1894 is perfect for deer hunting in the wooded areas throughout the country and anywhere a true rifle is warranted. Don’t miss out on your opportunity to own this fine Winchester. Thanks for looking!
