Winchester 1894 and a Winchester 1873!
The rifle is a Winchester mod. 1894, halfoctagonal barrel, button mag. caliber 38-55, mfg 1900.
The shape of the rifle is very good and I am sure of that it is not used very much.
Best,

Re: Winchester 1894!
The case colors on that lever prove that it hasn't been used much. Congratulations on a fine rifle.

Very Nice! I love the 1/2 round Winchesters and the 38-55 is one I don't have. Thanks for sharing

Re: Winchester 1894!
Wow! A few years back a fellow was going to trade me one like that for my 1895 Marlin, and then I never heard from him again. Always regretted missing out on it. Sure is a beauty!

Re: Winchester 1894!
Wow! The condition of that rifle is amazing! That is a highly desirable and collectable Model 1894!

History on the gun?? Yea, I have it Brad................from the shipping crate in 1900 right to the closet.
What is it with this guy, Stefan? He posts a nice pic, then disappears. Maybe they only have internet connection once a week in Sweden. Either that or this cat is busy with the Swedish Bikini Team.-------------6

Re: Winchester 1894!
Thank you very much guys for the nice words about my Winchester mod. 1894. I really appreciate it.
Unfortunately, I do not have the history about the the gun.
As I said in the beginning of this post I have been a little bit sick but not more sick than I could take the car for a drive a few hours and pick up a Winchester mod. 1873.
I think the shape is okey for the price I paid. In the buttstock I found this cleaning rod.
I should really appreciate your opinions about that. Is it correct? This is the first time I see it except for pictures in the book.
Best,

Re: Winchester 1894 and a Winchester 1873!
Nice looking 73 you got! I would say the cleaning rod is for the gun, but not positive
the 38-40 & 44-40 came with them
so what calibre is yours

Re: Winchester 1894 and a Winchester 1873!
Thank you, ollogger!
The caliber is 44-40.
I am not sure but I think that the cleaning rods were not furnished with the .32 and .22 caliber models.
