1894 Winchester
M1894 Winchester Extra Light Weight Rifle
This model 1894 Winchester is chambered for .30 WCF ammunition. It may be a special order Extra Light Weight Rifle or cut-down vs. factory. The barrel is 22 inches long with a half-magazine tube and has a crescent butt-plate. Flayderman's Guide to Antique Firearms describes them as having a 22 inch barrel and shotgun butt-plate. This rifle was manufactured in 1906. It comes with a Factory Letter from the Cody Museum. However, the letter does not indicate it as being anything other than a rifle and no indication of who ordered it. It has an LB1 receiver peep sight from Pacific Gunsight Company with a Marbles dovetail blank replacing the standard buckhorn ramp sight. In addition to the standard patent dates and caliber, it is also marked: "Nickel Steel Barrel Especially for Smokeless Powder". From the appearance of wear on the later half of the butt stock, it may have spent considerable time in a leather scabbard. |
