    Bought a 1957 model
    94 from its original
    Owner in 2020 for
    $300.00. He put one round through it and decided he liked drinking better and set it in a Sears and Roebuck leather gun back where it sat for 60 plus years. He gave me the original
    Box of ammo
    Missing the one round he fired. The rifle is in pristine condition. Love it.

      I bought a 49 model 94 in very much the same condition couple months ago. Didn't even have any markings at the loading port.

    When I was 17 back in 1974 I worked all summer to buy my first gun with my own money. I bought a Winchester 94. It still shoots great and looks great. Best 74 bucks I ever spent. I have it on a rack with my two Henry lever guns and even though they are beautiful, there is something so elegant about the 94.

    We still see lever action rifles, at hunt camps, in my area leveraction, bolt action, pump action carbine, and the odd semiautomatic. Classics have a way of coming back.

    The 94 is a great American classic. It is a smooth action weapon. Love them the one I own was manufactured in1937. Great deer rifle.

    This has been the best series that I have read on the 94 Rifle full of information about every varity and when the changes were made. however i did miss any comment about tne hammer checkering, the change in the forearm length and the flat barrell band. i had to get the old 25-35 out of the safe and bring it to my shoulder, it felt like shaking hads with an old friend.

    Mine is in the 32 Win Spl. Winchester, please bring back the 32 Win Spl in the 94! It’s a heck of a great rifle/cartridge combo.

    Lever actions are my favorite, and the 1894 is one of them

  • @jeffreyhershey5754

    Actually it's the best lightweight close range hunting rifle ever made I happen to own 16 of them last count and always willing to buy another one if the opportunity arises and the price is reasonable

    I have a 94 in 32-40 and it is old .It has a 25 inch barrel and short tube underneath.
    It dates back to 1900 odd so it is over a hundred years old and I hand load and shoot it. What a rifle and rare.

    I hate to admit this, I sold my great grandfather's model 94 made in 1934 in great condition for 400 dollars and it was a 30/30.

      My grandfather's Model 94 (Classic 20 inch barrel carbine with full length 6 round tube and ladder sight in excellent condition.) that he gave me when he died was made in 1928. I've contemplated selling it since I am a military rifle collector and specialize in restoring cheaply acquired sporterized milsurp guns. But I will be taking it to Texas sometime soon to try it out eradicating some wild hogs. Maybe I'll keep it. I know if I sold it, I'd never get another lever gun and the Model 94 in 30-30 is THE one lever gun I'd consider keeping and using for its classic appeal. But if you sold it and got something you like better out of it, then I say its worth it. I sold some 22s he gave me and bought a few mil surps to restore and love. Somebody will want our stuff to collect.

      None of my business, but please don't. I had to sell a couple of my family guns to put myself through school. I have felt guilty and regretful every since. Once they are gone, can't get them back. Just don't want you to go through what I did.

    I got two 1894's. A 25-35 made 1905. And a 30-30. Made 1907.26" octagon barrels😊

    • @tedpfenninger4972
      @tedpfenninger4972 Год назад

      Lucky you! I've never owned or fired a 25-35 or 38-55. I've always believed these to were the primo chambering.❤❤❤!

    My grandfather was born in 1898. When a young man he purchased one of these. He spent a number of years grazing sheep in the hills close to Fish Lake Utah. It was his saddle gun. When they got tired of mutton grandpa would see a deer and take it with this gun. When grandma gave it to me she said it had killed more deer than a California hunter sees in a lifetime. It still works. It now belongs to my nephew.

    Mine is a pre64 by just a year or two, I haven't tried to narrow it down more...it has that used hard, weathered look with the stock's finish full of scratches and dings...once a year the gun sees a few rounds at the range, then gets cleaned and back into the safe...it is the most serious artillery in the house (we are poor seniors, and can't justify buying a .30-06 or similar)...i'd like to pass down to son or daughter, gotta explain that even in average condition the gun has value...

    I have a 1940s, the best I can tell as I believe Winchester lost the records due to a fire during the period it was made, when I looked up the serial number it just came back between 1940...to 1940 something..for some reason

    The usual comments on pre-1964 came in, but actual change in manufacturing came DURING 1964, about half way through. Also, the primary changes were going to sintered metal construction and use of stamped steel on the carrier. Since all the carrier is doing is lifting the next round to the chamber, this is insignificant. Sintered metal parts are used in the automotive world because of precision and strength, along with saving time from machining parts from billet. There may have been manufacturing issues with it in '64 and '65, but clearly that didn't last as they could have never continued manufacturing if there were problems with strength or precision. What the sintered metal did do wrong was its finish was not like the machined steel, so the bluing became an appearance issue. Winchester's cure was to paint them with a black finish, possibly a powder coat type of tech, on the high-end rifles and commemorative rifles. Finally, they did that with all.

    The French ordered 15,100 Model 94’s from Winchester during WW1 and at 4:42 in this video that’s a French serviceman. I’m surprised they didn’t mention that, kinda embarrassing to be honest lol

    Get yourself. Remington made Marlin 2016 or later because from 2016 and after Remington started manufacturing their own Marlin lever guns. They used close tolerances brand new CNC machines and made their carriers from solid block billet steel. J.M. Marlin and others machine their carriers and that reduces their strength, where Remington was the first to produce Marlin lever guns like this.
    The only so called Remlin Marlin lever guns were actually between 2010 and 2015 when Remington utilized J.M. Marlin Company parts, and were assembled by former J.M. Marlin workers after the buyout. Anyone who owns. Remington Marlin 2016 or later knows how beautifully made these Marlin lever guns are. A writer in Rifle magazine stated that Remington made the best barrels for their Marlin lever guns. Better than J.M. Or now Ruger!! Remington Marlin made their 1895’s with a trigger pull of 4.5 lbs. Ruger makes them with
    a trigger pull of near 7 lbs. This is one area that Ruger should not have messed with the great lever guns Remington produced.

      38-40 would have been chambered in the Winchester model 92
