Make: Winchester

Model: 1894

Serial Number: 480033

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 Marble 47 brass-beaded blade dovetailed to the front of the barrel. The rear sight is a Marble's "U"-notch elevator sight with white diamond aiming reference dovetailed to the rear of the barrel; the notch is fine-adjustable for elevation and can be reversed to present a "V"-notch. The top tang is drilled, tapped and filled for a tang sight (none present). The barrel has a pair of drilled and tapped holes just in front of the forend.

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 five notches in the bottom-front of the forend that appear intentionally applied. There is a tiny loss at the top-front corner of the wrist on the right. There is some discoloration around the wrist including a bruise on the left. There are no cracks. 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.

Type of Finish: Blued

Finish Originality: Original to the parts. The ovalled "P" marking on the barrel indicates that it was replaced outside the factory. The magazine is also likely a replacement.

Bore Condition: The bore is mostly bright with sharp rifling. There is no erosion in the bore, but there is a little stubborn copper fouling. In this writer's opinion, the bore rates 9 out of 10.

Overall Condition: This rifle retains about 75% of its metal finish. The balance is mostly in the receiver which has gone to a patina mottled with areas worn to white. The magazine and barrel have generally strong finish with a few light marks. There is light wear and minor oxidation around the mounting holes on the barrel from a previously installed sight/optic mount. There are some spots of oxidation on the magazine. There are some nicks and scratches, mostly on the receiver. The action shows operational wear. The screw heads range from sharp to disfigured with usable slots. The markings are clear. Overall, this rifle is in Very Good condition as not parts-original.

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 Very Good condition with 75% of its metal finish remaining, a good bore in its replacement barrel, and strong mechanics. The rifle has likely seen its share of use and, with its new barrel, it should still prove to be a good hunting rifle. It will also add nicely to a Winchester collection missing the 1894. Please see our photos and good luck!
