Early Winchester Model 1894 Lever Action Rifle
serial #16627, 38-55, 26'' round barrel with a full magazine and a very good bore showing light oxidation but evident rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this 1896-made rifle have toned to a pewter-gunmetal patina with remnants of blue in the protected areas, strongest on the bolt and lever link, with some light handling marks, hints of pinprick pitting here and there, and some touches of freckling. The lever and hammer have also toned largely to gray but still show mellowed case-colors, the lever showing fine oxidation staining in spots. The straight grip walnut stock is in very good condition as lightly cleaned and refinished with the remnants of a couple light dings and a repaired large 3 1/4''chip at the toe, showing three filler spots and a small gap in the fitment to the steel buttplate, which shows a mottled patina. The buttstock exhibits some lovely grain figure along the right side up to the tip of the comb, and on the left side of the wrist. The forend is in very good plus condition with the remnants of light dings and handling marks consistent with its age. The proper two-line barrel address, caliber markings, and the serial number are all intact and clear, the tang markings concealed beneath the aperture rear sight. In addition to the aperture rear, the rifle is sighted with a small German silver blade front sight and sporting-style semi-buckhorn rear sight, and the tang screws show some light slot wear.
