You are bidding on a Desirable Winchester Model 1894 .38-55 Octagon Rifle. The 1894 rifles of this early vintage were very popular with the Klondike gold seekers as well as with big game hunters on both sides of the Mississippi River. Many also found their way south of the border and played a major role in the Mexican Revolution as well as border skirmishes with Americans. This 1894 is an excellent example that displays fine blue on the barrel and magazine tube as well as generous blue on the receiver. All screw heads are sharp as are all the original and correct Winchester markings on the barrel and upper tang. The rifle still retains the factory buckhorn rear sight along with the correct and original small blade Winchester factory front sight. The bore is in bright mint condition and the action is very tight. The stock, with classic crescent butt plate, and forearm are also in excellent condition without any chips or cracks and show extremely tight wood to metal fit. This 113 year old Winchester 1894 is in far better condition than normally encountered and is seldom seen in rare .38-55 caliber. The rifle was manufactured in 1905. Curio & Relic firearm. FFL transfer or NICS background check required. The serial number is 337019.
