Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Model 94 Rifles and Carbines being made today surpass the quality and craftsmanship of any Model 94 made before. The button-rifled barrels are triple-checked at the factory, ensuring optimal accuracy. The smooth walnut stocks combine to complement the richly blued steel of the receiver and hardware. Round locking bolt trunnions help ensure a smooth, quick lever throw, imitated but unparalleled by the competition. The edges of the lever are radiused, making the operation of the lever comfortable. Go and hold one - try cocking the hammer and working the loading gate. Everything on the gun operates as smooth as silk, yet it feels solid and dependable.
1966 was the Winchester Repeating Arms Company's 100th year of operation. To commemorate this occasion, Winchester produced a run of fancy Model 94 rifles. These were based on post-1964 Model 94's actions with a gold-plated receiver and forend cap, brass "rifle" (curved) buttplate, saddle ring, and a heavy octagon barrel with a full-length magazine that was nicely polished and deeply blued. The straight-hand stock was select walnut.
There were rifle (26") and carbine (20") barrel lengths, and sets of rifle and carbine with consecutive serial numbers were also offered. The point of all of the gold and brass was to make the 1966 Centennial reminiscent of the brass-framed Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy" rifle that was Winchester's first product. Centennial '66 was their first big commemorative issue that paved the way for the long series of commemorative lever-action rifles.
