Our Assessment: This Winchester Model 1894, manufactured in 1916, is a classic example of America’s most iconic lever-action rifle. Introduced by John Browning and produced by Winchester, the 1894 became synonymous with the American frontier and remains one of the most beloved sporting rifles in history.

Chambered in .30 W.C.F. (.30-30 Winchester), this rifle was designed to be lightweight, durable, and effective for hunting medium game, especially deer. The 20” barrel and full-length magazine tube indicate this is a standard rifle configuration, making it both collectible and functional for range or field use.

With over a century behind it, this rifle still exhibits solid mechanics, a strong bore, and much of its original charm. For collectors of Winchester rifles, lever guns, or early 20th-century sporting arms, this is a desirable piece with historical value and aesthetic appeal.
