Pre-War Winchester 1894 .25-35 WCF 25.5" Round Octagon Lever Action Rifle, 1906 C&R

Our Assessment: This is a Winchester Model 1894 made in 1906 with a 25.5" round to octagonal barrel chambered in .25-35 WCF. The barrel has been cut from its 26" configuration just in front of the dovetail cut for the front sight. This rifle would be perfect for throwing in the back window of your pick-up truck for use on coyotes and other varmints and it would also be a great deer rifle today just as it was when it was made in 1906. Please see our photos and good luck!
