For your consideration is a Winchester Model 1894 .30 WCF (.30-30) barrel and receiver. When the Model 1894 rifle was introduced in1894 it was chambered only in the black powder loaded caliber's of .32-40 (.32 caliber bullet with 40 grains of black powder) or .38-55. Once Winchester perfected barrel steel that would withstand the new smokeless powder pressures along with copper jacketed bullets instead of lead slugs, the revolutionary, and still popular, .30 WCF (also known as the .30-30 Winchester cartridge) was introduced. This occurred sometime in 1895-1896. This firearm was manufactured in 1902. The full octagon barrel measures 26” and is marked on the top “Manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. New Haven Conn. U.S.A. Pat. Aug. 21. 1894.” Serial Number: 159269. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
