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.
