1894 .30WCF Questions
Posted: Wed Dec 02, 2015 4:08 pm
I have a 94-30 that my father bought new in 1946 (Ser # 1372000). The peculiar thing is that is has a "pistol grip" stock and curved lever (like a deluxe stock). Both the barrel and the receiver have the general stamp plus another matching stamp on each. 25 years ago, a gun dealer told me the extra stamp indicated the modification was made at the factory.(??) This is the only one like this I have ever seen.
The good: We have owned it since new; I doubt it has had more that 40 rounds through it; It was refinished/reblued in 1970.
The bad: It was refinished in 1970.
The last time it was fired was in 1964.
Can anyone verify the year of manufacture? Can anyone confirm the stamp issue? Also, what might the value be?
