Part-Octagonal, Part-Round Customized Barrel

Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 1894 Lever Action Rifle, made in 1903 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 April 1919, Winchester eliminated the “18” and “19” from the model names of all of the various models that were in active production. So, prior to this date, the Model 94 would have been the Model 1894. 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 nearing fine. Original finish and patina. The once fully octagonal barrel has been shortened and the forward portion has been turned on a lathe to achieve a more pencil profile. The sight ramp was formed by keeping a section of the original octagonal profile, then dovetailing it. The action is excellent. The bore is in good condition with strong rifling. The walnut stock shows use and remains solid throughout. A unique customized Winchester 94!
