Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Winchester Model 1894 rifle, also known as the Winchester 94 or Model 94, is a lever-action repeating rifle that was designed by John Browning in 1894. It originally used two metallic black powder cartridges, the .32-40 Winchester and .38-55 Winchester, but in 1895, it became the first rifle to use the smokeless powder round, the .30 WCF (Winchester Center Fire), which later became known as the .30-30. The rifle was produced by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company until 1980 and later by U.S. Repeating Arms under the Winchester brand until 2006, when they ceased manufacturing rifles. Reproductions of the rifle are now being made by the Miroku company of Japan and imported into the United States by the Browning Arms Company of Morgan, Utah. The Model 1894 is often referred to as the "ultimate lever-action design" by firearms historians and was the first commercial sporting rifle to sell over 7,000,000 units.

Exclusively from Winchester comes a tribute deeply rooted in frontier lore—the Winchester Model 94 Buffalo Bill Commemorative rifle and carbine, authorized by the Buffalo Bill Memorial Association. Hailing from the Winchester Repeating Arms Company of New Haven, Connecticut, these rifles pay homage to Colonel William F. Cody, renowned as Buffalo Bill. In a testament to their quality, Buffalo Bill himself extolled the Winchester lever action as unparalleled for hunting, Indian fighting, and general use. Winchester reciprocates this praise with a limited edition that faithfully replicates Buffalo Bill's cherished firearm. These Model 94s feature octagon barrels, crescent butt plates, and meticulous craftsmanship that honors the legacy of America's greatest Western hero, capturing the spirit of adventure and prowess that defined Buffalo Bill's legendary life on the frontier.
