Make: Winchester

Model: 1894

Serial Number: 503219

Year of Manufacture: 1909

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 german silver blade in a slotted base, dovetailed and screw-set to the front of the barrel. The rear sight is a Winchester Express sight with three folding "V"-notches in a base dovetailed to the rear of the barrel. The notches are marked 50, 1 and 2. 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. There are small voids in the finish along the left of the buttstock and some crazing on the right. There are short, thin cracks at the right-rear of the top and bottom tangs. There are a few tiny losses around the edges of the tangs. The LOP measures 13" from the front of the trigger to the back of the buttplate. The plate has worn to white with some scattered light oxidation. Overall, the stocks are in Good-plus condition as refinished.

Type of Finish: Blued

Finish Originality: Original

Bore Condition: The bore is light gray with well defined rifling. There is light erosion scattered through the bore with some minor pitting. In this writer's opinion, the bore rates 5 or 6 out of 10.

Overall Condition: This rifle retains about 60% of its metal finish. The finish is thinning at all edges. Most of the balance is scattered finish wear in the receiver. There is some other scattered wear along the barrel and magazine. There are some patches of surface erosion on the top of the barrel behind the front sight. The magazine tube has an odd 4" long zig-zag scratch on the top-left and there is a shallow dent on the bottom about 3" behind the mounting bracket. Some worn areas show discoloration from oxidation. There are scattered nicks, scuffs and scratches. The action shows operational wear. Most screw heads range from sharp to tool marked with strong slots, the stock mounting screw is disfigured with a questionably usable slot. The markings are clear. Overall, this rifle is in 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 60% of its metal finish remaining, a fair bore, and strong mechanics. The rifle has seen honest use, but it looks better than any of us will when we're 115 years old! It may still prove to be a decent hunting rifle and will add nicely to a Winchester collection missing the 1894. Please see our photos and good luck!
