Sharing some lever action Win 94 photos. I bought this rifle relative cheap last year new. I am not a collector, just a shooter!
I typically load this 38-55 using 20 gr of AA5744 and a 245 gr hand cast powder coated bullet but I also enjoy shooting black powder cartridges too with it.

Collectors don't want the Crazy Horse's either, so they languish. That's about the cheapest way to get into a lever action 38-55 tho. Nothing wrong with that!

I'm a sucker for tacked out rifles and for sure, the Crazy Horse is one of my favorite commemoratives.

19,999 made. Probably the cheapest commemorative ever made by winchester.

Paid $400 under what a brand new Win 94 costs.

Of all the Winchester commemoratives, the crazy horse has beat expectations. An actual appreciation of value

That's an interesting rifle. Quite a color contrast from one side to the other.

Enjoy shooting it. Who cares what the collector's think.
