Winchester Model 1894 Deluxe Lever Action Rifle Chambered in .32-40 Caliber **Mfg 1902 - Presented to FM Houdlette by WRACo**

Description:
Here we have a very handsome 1902 mfg Winchester Model 1894 chambered in .32-40 Winchester caliber. The Winchester Model 1894 rifle (also known as the Winchester 94 or Model 94) is a lever-action repeating rifle that became one of the most famous and popular hunting rifles of all time. It was designed by John Browning in 1894 and originally chambered to fire two metallic black powder cartridges, the .32-40 Winchester and .38-55 Winchester. It was the first rifle to chamber the smokeless powder round, the .30 WCF (Winchester Center Fire, in time becoming known as the .30-30) in 1895. Introduced in 1884, the .32-40 was developed as a black powder match-grade round for the Ballard single-shot Union Hill Nos. 8 and 9 target rifles. Using a 165-grain bullet and 40 grains of black powder (muzzle velocity 1,440 ft/s (440 m/s), muzzle energy 760 ft⋅lbf, the factory load gained a reputation for fine accuracy, with a midrange trajectory of 11 inches (28 cm) at 200 yd (180 m). This particular rifle is in very good overall mechanical and physical condition and has worn to a warm grey patina over the years. The wood has taken on a very rich tone from years of being carried and cleaned. Metal crescent butt plate. The gun was presented to a person named F.M. Houdlette at some point by W.R.A.Co. (Winchester Repeating Arms Co). This is a good honest old rifle in a unique caliber that would have tales of adventure if it could talk from many decades of ownership and use....beautiful gun.
