Pre-64 Winchester Model 94 .32 Winchester Special Lever-Action Rifle

Winchester Model 94 — .32 W.S. (Winchester Special) — 20" Carbine

This is a recently acquired and well-preserved Winchester Model 94 in .32 W.S. (Winchester Special) with a 20" barrel and original blued finish. This example shows typical signs of honest use and handling for a working rifle — light carry wear and small handling marks — but overall great condition. The hooded front sight is intact, and the wood and metal present very well for a mid-20th century carbine.

• Using Winchester / collector serial tables, the Model 94 serial 1,664,768 falls into the 1950 manufacturing year bracket.

(Note: Winchester-era dating commonly uses published year-end serial lists compiled from factory polishing-room records and collector research. For museum-grade proof of manufacture date, buyers can request a Cody Firearms Museum letter.) Winchester Collector
