Pre-64 1957 Winchester Model 94 .30 -30 Win 20" Lever Action RifleOur Assessment: This a Winchester Model 94 Carbine in .30-30 WCF that was made in 1964, just after the company went through a rather severe reorganization. The .30-30 is perhaps the most popular deer cartridge in America, and the 94 chambered for this classic round is nearly synonymous with "deer rifle". This rifle is in Very Good condition with 35% of its metal finish remaining, light wear in its stocks, a good bore and strong mechanics. This rifle could be back out in the field dropping deer for another lifetime and would also be a restoration project. . Please see our photos and good luck!
