In this lot is a desirable, early classic Winchester 1894 lever action rifle in the popular .30 WCF caliber (also known as the .30-30 Winchester Center Fire). The rifle was manufactured in 1903 and shows a replacement Model 64 round barrel with deluxe order high grade highly figured wood forestock. It is important to note that the revolutionary .30 W.C.F. round, introduced for the Model 1894 Winchester in the year 1895, was the first sporting cartridge made expressly for smokeless powder and became instantly popular. This rifle shows a blue'd finished 23 1/2" round barrel. The uncleaned receiver also retains fine screws. The fore-end has a tight wood to metal fit and shows some light wear. The 1894 was one of the most popular of Winchester’s models and thousands are still used regularly today. The 1894 was also known as the “Klondike Model”, as many found their way to the Yukon Gold Rush of the last years of the 1890s and into the 20th century. It was equally popular east and west of the Mississippi. Big game hunter/conservationist, Theodore Roosevelt, was known to have used a Winchester 1894 in .30 WCF caliber. This example boasts a tight action and bore with good rifling all the way through. Serial Number: 185651. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic firearm and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
