WTS Model 1894 Antique|Winchester Swap Meet|Forum|Winchester Collector

Here is a true 90%+ condition .30-30 rifle with special order features that letters with Cody and was made in 1898.  This is a full 26″ octagon rifle, but with a 1/2 mag.  It also letters with a shotgun rubber butt, Lyman front and Lyman rear sights. 

The blue is all original.  The receiver has that deep Winchester blue at 90%+ on the sides and top, with the bottom showing some carry wear at the serial number.  The barrel is 98% blue and very strong.  Even the “small” parts, like the nosecap, upper and lower tangs, & bolt all have the majority of their original blue. The stocks are 95%+ original shiny varnish.  There is a small, shallow gouge on the right stock that is less than a dime size (I included a closeup).  There are a few other handling marks but nothing significant to point out.  The buttplate does have one small chip at the bottom.  

The rifle has a Lyman globe front, Lyman leaf rear and Lyman tang.  The front globe has a metal post instead of the normal ivory bead.  Rifle mechanics function well.  No play in the action.  Hammer holds at half and full cock.  The bore is excellent – bright/shiny with strong rifling.  The lever retains a good amount of bright and vivid case color on each side and inside, silvered out on the outside bottom of the lever.  Just a solid high-grade rifle with a neat profile showing full octagon barrel with 1/2 mag.

Asking $3995 shipped to Lower 48.  Personal checks, cashiers checks or USPS money orders.  5-day non-firing inspection period from when the rifle reaches its shipping destination.  Since this is an antique, I just need proof of age and will ship directly to the buyer.  Email me questions at [email protected]
