*SOLD* 1913 Winchester 1894 .32 Win Spl Blue 26" *ANTIQUE LEVER-ACTION RIFLE*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

The Winchester Model 1894, also known as the Model 94, is a legendary lever-action repeating rifle designed by John Browning and introduced in 1894. Originally chambered for two black powder cartridges, the .32-40 Winchester and .38-55 Winchester, the Model 1894 made history in 1895 by becoming the first rifle to chamber a smokeless powder round, the .30 WCF (Winchester Center Fire), later known as the iconic .30-30 Winchester. Additionally, the Model 1894 was produced in a wide variety of calibers beyond the original offerings, including .25-35 Winchester, .32 Winchester, and many more, making it a versatile platform for hunters, ranchers, and shooters of all types. Manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company until 1980 and then by U.S. Repeating Arms under the Winchester brand until 2006, the Model 1894 ceased production before being revived in reproduction form by Miroku of Japan, with current imports handled by Browning Arms Company of Morgan, Utah. Widely regarded by firearms historians as the "ultimate lever-action design," the Model 1894 became the first commercial sporting rifle to surpass 7 million units sold, a testament to its enduring popularity and practical performance.
