Winchester Model 94 Lever Action .30-30 Western Rifle (Pre 1964)

The Winchester Model 94 Lever Action .30-30 originally designed by John Browning, holds a special place in American history as one of the most iconic firearms of the Wild West era. Today we chat with Lloyd about his rifle and why it has sentimental value to him. Join us as we dive into his experiences with firearm ownership.
The Model 94's enduring popularity stems from its reliability, ease of use, and powerful performance, making it a favorite among hunters and shooting enthusiasts to this day.
Collectors often seek out pre-1964 models due to changes in manufacturing processes after that year. Pre-1964 guns are prized for their craftsmanship and quality, as Winchester made significant design alterations in 1964 to reduce production costs, resulting in a noticeable difference in fit and finish. With its distinctive lever action mechanism and classic design, the Winchester 30-30 continues to capture the imagination of firearm enthusiasts and remains a symbol of the rugged spirit of the American frontier."

I have a Winchester 1894 in 32 special. Made in 1916. If only it could talk about all the hunts it’s been on.

My first deer rifle was a pre 64 Win mod 94 my dad bought me. I am 64 yrs old now and own 4 , 30-30's , 3 marlins , one win, and a win .32 spl , I own several other lever guns, but the Win mod 94 has always been my favorite ! We were all trained and taught differently, but I was taught to load and put on safety because of noise and why would there be a safety and not use it ?

🔹1928🔹 was the year my 30-30 Winchester was made.
Back in 1964,when I was 14 ..... a farmer walked into my grandpa's Gun Store in the Adirondacks of NY and sold that there 30-30 for $15
After he walked out I bought the rifle for $15 ~ and it became my daily shooter for hunting rogue woodchucks.
All of the woodchucks were one-shot kills 💥
Some 60 years later I still have the rifle and it shoots just fine !
New Subscriber here in Florida 🌴
PS ~ I absolutely loved the interview with your father-in-law ! I rarely,if ever,have seen such an interview on RUclips !

Trivia ~ My grandpa was an Olympic Pistol Shooter .... won the NY State Pistol Champioship for 7 consecutive years ... then he won the US Pistol Championship in 1933.
My dad was his gunsmith / re-loader and driver to the gun matches ie Camp Perry Ohio.
I started shooting at 11 with the YMCA of all places .... Boy Scouts at 12 ..... and was the Treasurer of my high school gun club at 14.
My sons are both Firefighters 🚒🚒 with the oldest also working as a SWAT Medic 💥who happens to be one of their best shooters ~ taught by his dad 😊

I have one and it’s a tack driver. Best rifle ever with blade sights.

[@EC-mc7vg]

I have one from 1920 that someone years ago branded a B into the stock. My dad bought it in 1968.

[@RuggedTactical]

That's awesome. Cool to think that it is over 100 years old.

[@bigben9379]

I enjoyed the stories . I have one made in 1957 they are wonderful to carry , well balanced and great deer rifles.

[@RuggedTactical]

Glad you enjoy the stories. I view my channel as 3 parts... informative/educational, hopefully somewhat entertaining and third a bit of preservation of history.

[@nathandopp2059]

FIRST!!!!

Thanks for being first.

My first rifle was a 1962 model 94. I bought it new and hunted for 2 years with it. It was horribly inaccurate and prone to malfunction. My grandfather gave me his old rifle that was marked 30 govt 06. I recently gave it to my grandson. I sold the model 94 after 3 years. No regrets.

Interesting how sometimes guns are like trying on shoes. Some just don't fit quite right.
