Make: Winchester

Model: 1894

Serial Number: 545254

Year of Manufacture: 1910

Caliber: .30-30 W.C.F. (Winchester Center Fire)

Action Type: Lever Action, Tube Magazine Fed Rifle

Barrel Length: 26", Round

Sights / Optics: The front sight is a white beaded blade dovetailed to the front of the barrel. The rear sight is a custom fixed sight with an aperture formed of a large "U"-notch with a flat top. The sights are not original to the gun. The top tang is drilled, tapped and filled for a tang sight (none present).

Stock Configuration & Condition: The stocks are two-piece smooth walnut with capped forend, straight grip, straight comb, and steel crescent buttplate. The stocks have scattered nicks, dings, scuffs and scratches, most notable on the right of the buttstock. There is a crack at the bottom-front of the forend. The LOP measures 13" from the front of the trigger to the back of the buttplate. The plate has worn to white with scattered oxidation and erosion. Overall, the stocks are in Good-plus condition as refinished.

Type of Finish: Blued

Finish Originality: Original

Bore Condition: The bore is dark. The rifling is worn, but visible. There is erosion and pitting scattered through the bore. In this writer's opinion, the bore rates 4 out of 10.

Overall Condition: This rifle retains about 3% of its metal finish. There is infrequent finish in well protected areas. Most surfaces have worn to white or gone to a patina. There is fairly evenly scattered surface oxidation and minor erosion. There are scattered nicks, scuffs and scratches. The action shows operational wear. The screw heads range from sharp to tool marked with strong slots. The markings range from clear to worn or obscured by oxidation. Overall, this rifle is in about Good condition.

Mechanics: The action functions correctly. We have not fired this rifle. As with all previously owned firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.

Box, Paperwork & Accessories: None.

Our Assessment: This is a Winchester Model 94 Rifle in .30-30 WCF that was made in 1910. The .30-30 is synonymous with "deer rifle" in the United States and the 1894 is perhaps the most common platform for the cartridge. The rifle is in Good condition with 3% of its metal finish remaining, a fair bore, and strong mechanics. It has a half-length "button" magazine, giving it a little lighter weight and faster swing. The rifle appears to have seen its share of use over the last 115 years, but will display well with its "been there, done that" appearance. It would also be a good candidate for restoration. Please see our photos and good luck!
