Well Canadian WACA members, this is your chance to acquire a gorgeous, very high condition, special order original Winchester Model 1894 chambered in 38-55 and shipped in 1905. They say the sun tells no lies, so in addition to the detailed photos further below, here is one shot in direct sunlight. Note the bright fire-blue loading gate and the brilliant case colours on the lever and hammer. You don’t see a gorgeous, completely original 111 year-old Winchester in this high of condition every day.

Info from Cody Museum for this rifle, serial # 260389:
The Cody factory letter will be included with this rifle

Serial Number applied: March 24, 1905
Type: Rifle
Caliber: 38-55
Barrel type: Round
Trigger: plain
Special order: Shotgun butt, Rubber plate, 4 cartridge magazine
Received in warehouse: July 10, 1905
Shipped from warehouse: July 10, 1905, order number 15546

Condition: Completely original and un-messed with. I would put this rifle at around 95% to 98%. There are bright case colours on the lever and hammer and the loading gate is a bright fire-blue. All screws are immaculate. The bore is essentially mint with sharp rifling, a 10 out of 10.

Price/Trades: I will sell it for $Cdn 4,750 ($US 3,627 at current exchange rates) shipped within Canada or do a partial trade for something in the list below.

Will Consider a cash-trade for one of the following:

  1. Winchester Model 1873 in at least 80% condition, preferably in 38-40 caliber or 32-20
  2. Winchester Model 1894, 38-55 caliber in standard configuration with full octagon barrel, preferably shipped prior to 1900 in about 85% condition but not much higher, as I would like to be able to shoot it sometimes.
  3. Winchester Model 1892, 38-40 caliber with full octagon barrel in at least 85% condition

Beautiful rifle.  I’m curious.  I checked with ATF and they said that to import a firearm you would need an import permit, good for two years. The application to obtain one is form 5330.3A. Does any member here have an import permit? I have a C&R, but according to ATF, I would need to obtain the import permit,or the gun can be sent to someone holding an import permit, then transferred to the buyer. Has anyone here ever imported a firearm from Canada and provide guidance?

Thanks,

Al
