*SCARCE WINCHESTER MODEL 94 LEVER ACTION SHORT RIFLE.

*SCARCE WINCHESTER MODEL 94 LEVER ACTION SHORT RIFLE. SN 1053231. Cal. 30 WCF (30-30). Standard grade rifle with scarce 20″ oct bbl, full mag, standard front sight with screw and patent dated semi-buckhorn rear sight. Bbl markings are of the very late style, about mid point on top left flat. Mounted with straight grain, uncheckered, American walnut with straight stock and crescent buttplate with trap containing a very late and unusual small caliber brass and steel cleaning rod. Forearm is 8-3/8″ versus the standard 9-3/8″. This rifle was produced in the late 1920’s and was probably made for the movie industry firearms rental companies. It has the same dimensions and crescent buttplate with trap as those that this cataloger appraised for the Stembridge Gun Rental Company of Glendale, CA in the late 1990’s. Those rifles at Stembridge were in the same serial range and had been produced for Stembridge out of leftover parts. The Stembridge rifles had all been used hard and most had altered finishes whereas this rifle retains orig finish. PROVENANCE: Wes Adams Estate Collection. CONDITION: Fine to very fine. Bbl and mag tube retain 96-97% strong orig blue, somewhat dulled on the mag tube. Forend cap retains 65-70% orig blue. Receiver retains about 75% orig blue with the loss areas primarily from flaking, not wear. Hammer retains bright case colors and the lever dark case colors on sides, faded on the outer faces. Buttplate retains about 85% thinning orig blue. Wood is sound with a few light handling and storage nicks and scratches with one shallow gouge on buttstock and overall retains most of its orig factory finish. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore. Cleaning rod is fine. 4-44415 JR64 (2,000-3,000)

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2013
