Winchester M1894, .30-30

Winchester Model 1894, .30-30 Winchester (USA, 1895-2006)

The Browning-designed Model 1894 was Winchester's first smokeless-powder rifle, and the earliest such weapon commonly available in America. It was operationally identical to the long line of lever-action, tube-magazine rifles going back to the Winchester '66 (no unfamiliarity penalty). More than six million were made.

No major power adopted the Model 1894 as a standard military rifle, but it saw wide use in such conflicts as the Mexican Revolution of 1910. The Royal Navy used some for boarding parties in WWI. Many police departments acquired it, especially in the U.S. South and Southwest. It was the standard rifle of most American prison systems, and the gun most likely to be found in closets or pickups across North (and South) America. After its introduction, any small-town grocery or hardware store in the U.S. was liable to have a few boxes of .30-30 ammo.
