Ok guys, I'm seeing if there is any interest in someone owning my Winchester model 1894 .30 WCF?
I recently took it to my favorite gun shop, where the combined Employee Experience is 200 years. They started salivating as soon as I rolled this one out of the sock. They conservatively rated this rifle at 80 percent and thought 85 to 87 was closer. The rifle is tight! No monkeying with any screws! Blue on barrel is very nice! The blue on receiver is fading on wear a man's hand carries the gun. The wood is strong for a 100 year old rifle.
I want to sell it, tonight! It's time.
The rifle was born in 1910. It's a Winchester Saddle Ring, flat steel butt plate model.
I'll entertain fair offers starting in the 1900.00 range or best offers?
Flat band on a 1910 vintage????? Upper tang does appear proud in the pics. The stock with that buttplate, almost appears to be a "newer" vintage pre 64. Better pics would help.

Doesn't look right from here, either. Flatband models were produced during WWII only.
Give us the first three digits in the serial number. And how many digits in the serial no?
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.
Things are not adding up here. Your gun, even from the poor pictures, doesn�t have features of a 1910 gun. Ramp front sights didn�t start until about 1937. The picture appears to show a flat barrel band which would be WWII time production.
What�s the serial number?
Dennis.
Those who call magazines "clips" and cartridges "bullets" ought not to be taken seriously. Jeff Cooper. We might add those who call bullets "boolits.
What would it cost to get that rebarreled to .270 WSM and perhaps have it drilled and tapped for see-through mounts?
j/k. nice looking gun

Having said that about the sight and barrel band being war time.....saddle rings went away in the 20s.

During the period 1906-1921, Winchester 1892 and 1894 carbines were stocked with gum wood more often than walnut. Not sure of the true reason Winchester chose to use gum wood. May have been cost/availability of walnut, but I have never been able to determine why. All other SRC's I have seen within that time period had carbine buttstocks, but the Winchester depicted here clearly has a rifle stock. Also hard to clearly see receiver screw pattern in photos. Flat barrel band and ramped front sight definitely not common to that time period.
Pretty evident that the barrel and magazine have been replaced.
