Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Winchester Model 1894 Rifle chambered in .38-55 WCF is a classic example of one of the most iconic lever-action rifles ever produced. Featuring a 26-inch round barrel and a ? length magazine tube, this rifle maintains the long, balanced profile typical of early Winchester sporting arms. Its blued finish provides a traditional aesthetic while offering durability in the field. The sighting system includes a dovetail blade front sight, a semi-buckhorn rear sight, and an additional Lyman folding sight, allowing for precise target acquisition across varying distances. This configuration made the Model 1894 ideal for hunters in dense woods and open terrain alike, especially when chambered in the potent .38-55 WCF—a cartridge originally developed for accuracy and power in medium- to large-game hunting.

The rifle is fitted with a smooth walnut straight grip stock, staying true to the traditional styling of late 19th-century American lever guns. The action, designed by the legendary John Browning, is smooth, strong, and incredibly reliable—hallmarks of the Model 1894’s enduring success. Originally designed for black powder cartridges, the 1894 was revolutionary in 1895 when it became the first commercial sporting rifle to use a smokeless powder cartridge, cementing its place in firearms history. While this particular rifle retains the more classic .38-55 chambering, it represents the innovation and craftsmanship of the early Winchester era. With standard factory markings and a clean, straightforward configuration, this Model 1894 exemplifies the rifle's dual role as a working firearm and a collectible piece of American heritage.
