The Winchester Model 1894 rifle (also known as the Winchester 94 or Model 94) is a lever-action repeating rifle that became one of the most famous and popular hunting rifles of all time. It was designed by John Browning in 1894 and originally chambered to fire two metallic black powder cartridges, the .32-40 Winchester and .38-55 Winchester. It was the first rifle to chamber the smokeless powder round, the .30 WCF (Winchester Center Fire, in time becoming known as the .30-30) in 1895. In 1901 Winchester created the new .32 Winchester Special caliber with production of rifles starting in 1902.
The 1894 was produced by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company through 1980 and then by U.S. Repeating Arms under the Winchester brand until they ceased manufacturing rifles in 2006. Reproductions are 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 has been referred to as the "ultimate lever-action design" by firearms historians such as R. L. Wilson and Hal Herring. The Model 1894 is the rifle credited with the name "Winchester" being used to refer to all rifles of this type and was the first commercial sporting rifle to sell over 7,000,000 units.One Model 1894 is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the Arms & Armor department.

Hi folks, I'm helping a friend with his 30 WCF carbine and had a few questions. Let me start by saying, 'Yes, this sweet old girl was re-blued at some point.' :(
He asked for help repairing her but I'm concerned that the carbine is actually somewhat special, everything is original I believe, and...
I have Decided to sell my 30/30.
It is a Model 1894 SRC, serial # dates it to 1899.
I have had for quite awhile, But I just can't see the front sight well enough to hunt with it any more and It is to cool to add a peep.
If it were much nicer, you would not want to hunt with it.

I am finally getting around to troubleshooting the poor accuracy of this rifle and I think I found the problem. It looks like the crown on my model 94 is not square with the barrel. Check out the attached pics. I made jig and inserted it into the bore of the rifle and measured the gap. It...
