Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds FS .25-35 Winchester 1894, made in 1898

This is a rifle with a 26-inch octagon barrel, made in 1898 before the Model 1894 became the Model 94. (That occurred over a few years after WWI; during that transition period some were still stamped 1894.) It's been used but not abused, with no cracks in the stock, or any modifications. Aside from use-wear, the one flaw is some staining on the left side of the forend, which is shown in the photo of the rear sight.

The sights were options from the factory at that time, a 3-leaf open rear and a flip-over Sheard front combining a typical bead with a globe containing a post with a small round tip.

The bore is dark, typical of that era when mercuric primers were standard, but the rifling is strong. It groups three shots of favored handloads into two inches at 100 yards, Included will be a list of loads, plus about 90 once-fired Winchester-brand cases (purchased new when I got the rifle 15 years ago), and a set of RCBS dies, full-length sizer and seater.

Am asking $1295, which includes shipping. Will take personal check, money order, cash or PayPal, whatever's easiest for the buyer.
