Good Winchester Model 1894 in obsolete 32-40 calibre.

This is a very good Winchester Model 1894 take down rifle chambered in obsolete 32-40 calibre so can be owned without a license as a non-firing curiosity and an excellent example of this iconic “Cowboy” gun. These rifles were used as working tools to hunt Deer and protect stock from predators such as Coyotes.
This rifle functions perfectly and has a very good stock, some traces of finish in protected areas and overall mellowed down to a uniform patina with no issues.
The Winchester Model 1894 was the first commercial American repeating rifle built to be used with smokeless powder. The 1894 was originally chambered to fire 2 metallic black powder cartridges, the .32-40 Winchester and .38-55 Winchester. In 1895 Winchester went to a different steel composition for rifle manufacturing that could handle higher pressure rounds and offered the rifle in .25-35 Winchester and .30-30 Winchester. The .30-30 Winchester, or .30 WCF (Winchester Centrefire), is the cartridge that has become synonymous with the Model 1894. Starting in 1899, the Model 1894 was also chambered in .32 Winchester Special. This rifle is chambered in the original 32-40 Calibre.
The Model 94's combination of potent firepower in a compact, lightweight, comfortable-to-carry, and quick-shooting package has made it an extremely popular hunting rifle, particularly for white-tailed deer in the dense forests of the Eastern United States, where most game is killed at relatively short distances. As a result, it was the first sporting rifle to sell over 7,000,000 units.
Winchester rifles are highly collectible and this is an opportunity to own a very good antique rifle.
