I Have This Old Gun: Winchester Model 1894 Lever-Action Rifle 

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.

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.

Dream rifle. Love Cowboy guns. Sure want a 94. So cool.

Just picked up a 1957 model 94 last wk. Super stoked! I’ve wanted one of these since I was a kid

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.

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.

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.

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

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 one of the first made. Grandfather had great taste.

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.

Great video on an iconic American rifle.

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.

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.

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

A beautiful gun

i love the 1894 winchester in 30 30 tums upp

I love mine !

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

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...

intense

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.

But in 2011 it came back much better.

God i love this in Killing Floor 2 with Tactical Reload Perks 😂✌

👍🏻

I love to own one but lever action rifles are too expensive.

Does anyone have a.38-.40???? (1894)

The average price is $1200-$1500
