Item Description: Translate description

Make: Winchester

Model: Winchester Centennial '66, Model 1894

Serial Number: 47389

Year of Manufacture: 1966

Caliber: .30-30 Winchester

Action Type: Top Ejecting Lever Action with Full Length Tubular Magazine

Barrel Length: 26”, Octagonal

Sights / Optics: The front sight is a tall blade dovetailed to the front of the barrel. The rear sight is a "U"-notch leaf and elevator sight dovetailed to the rear of the barrel with the notch fine-adjustable for elevation. The left-rear of the receiver is drilled, tapped and filled for a receiver sight (none present).

Stock Configuration & Condition: The stocks are two-piece smooth wood with a gold-capped forend, straight grip, straight comb and brass crescent buttplate. There are some scattered light nicks, scuffs and scratches. There are no chips or cracks. The LOP measures 13 1/2” from the front of the trigger to the back of the buttplate. The plate has some discoloration. Overall, the stocks rate in Very Good-plus condition.

Type of Finish: Blue & Gold

Finish Originality: Original

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

Overall Condition: This rifle retains about 90% of its metal finish. The finish is thinning at some edges, most notable on the receiver. The blued finish is generally strong throughout with some minor nicks and small scratches. There is wear in the gold finish, most notable on the nosecap and the left receiver flat. There is some minor erosion in the wear on the left of the receiver. The action shows minor operational wear. The screw heads are sharp. The markings are clear. Overall, this rifle is in Very Good condition.

Mechanics: The action functions correctly. We did not fire this rifle. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.

Box, Paperwork & Accessories: None.

Our Assessment: This is a Winchester Centennial '66, produced in 1966 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Winchester's first rifle, the Model 1866. The rifle itself is a Model 94 with a gold-plated receiver and forend cap, 26" octagonal barrel and saddle ring. The gold plating of the receiver harkens back to the Model 1866 which had a brass receiver, and this is a beautiful rifle to commemorate the gun that started it all! The rifle is in Very Good condition with some wear in the gold finish, a few minor marks, a strong bore and great mechanics. This would make a good addition to a Winchester collection, or just a beautiful rifle to take out to the range. Please see our photos and good luck!
