This is an authentic Pre-64 Winchester Model 94 lever-action rifle chambered in the classic .30-30 Winchester, manufactured in 1958 during Winchester's highly regarded pre-1964 production era. Designed by the legendary John M. Browning, the Model 94 remains one of the most iconic sporting rifles ever produced and has earned its reputation as the quintessential North American deer rifle.
Among collectors, Pre-64 Winchester Model 94 rifles are especially desirable for their traditional manufacturing methods, including forged and machined steel components, excellent fit and finish, and the craftsmanship that defined Winchester's golden age before the cost-saving production changes introduced in 1964.
This rifle features the classic 20-inch carbine barrel, original walnut stock, hooded front sight, and adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight, preserving the timeless appearance that has made the Model 94 one of the most recognizable lever-action rifles in history.
Overall condition is very good. The original blued finish shows honest handling and field wear consistent with age while remaining attractive and well preserved. The walnut stock retains a pleasing original appearance with normal handling marks accumulated over decades of responsible use. No structural issues were observed.
Mechanically, the rifle functions smoothly with a crisp lever action. The bore is excellent, remaining bright with strong, well-defined rifling, making this example equally suitable for collectors and shooters alike.
A genuine Pre-64 Winchester Model 94 from the final years of Winchester's classic manufacturing era, offering an excellent combination of historical significance, collectibility, and practical shootability.
