Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
When the Winchester Model 1894 lever-action was introduced, it was chambered in .38-55. The other famous Winchester cartridges for the Model 94, the .25-35, .30-30 and .32 Special, are all based on a necked-down .38-55 case. In 2011, Winchester brought back the Model 94 as a regular production item in .38-55 and we reviewed a new Winchester Model 94 Sporter .38-55 Rifle in 2012. Previously, the easiest way to get a modern .38-55 rifle suitable for use with heavy (+P) loads was to purchase a Model 94 Legendary Frontiersmen (1979), Oliver Winchester (1980), or Chief Crazy Horse (1983) commemorative in the caliber. These Winchester commemoratives are seldom actually used, but they are excellent and very accurate hunting rifles.
In 1979, Winchester produced 19,999 Model 94 Legendary Frontiersmen rifles in their New Haven, Connecticut, USA factory. The serial numbers ran consecutively from LF1 to LF19999. These post-1964 Model 94 actions were the later type with good steel receivers and improved shell elevators and loading gates. They pre-date the introduction of the Model 94 AE (angle eject for scope mounting, which became standard in 1984), but the top eject receiver is drilled and tapped for mounting receiver (peep) sights.
Contents:
This Winchester will ship with the original factory labeled styrofoam box with Legendary Frontiersman marked cardboard sleeve, 5 boxes of 20 round Winchester Legendary Frontiersmen Commemorative ammo (that will ship separate from the gun), and all other contents pictured above.
