Notes


When this image was first uploaded to the wikipedia, a contributor wrote:

This is almost certainly not a Winchester rifle--definitely not a model 1894; the Winchester lever action rifles seem to all have had straight-grip stocks until the 1920s, when the Model 53 was introduced. So far, the only lever action rifle with a pistol grip stock in .30-30 I can find is the Marlin 1893; "28-32 in. round or octagonal barrels, 10 shot tube mag, straight or pistol grip stock. Mfg. 1893-1936". My blue book doesn't explicitly state that the Winchester model 1892 had a straight grip stock, but all the pictures I've seen have one, and the only .30-ish caliber it was available in was .32-20, a much smaller round. The .30-30 is actually pretty uncommon in the early Winchester lever actions, appearing only in the 1894 variants until the Model 55 came out in 1924. scot 14:10, 6 June 2006 (UTC):Information on Marlin and Winchester lever action rifles is taken from the Blue Book of Gun Values, S. P. Fjestad, 13th Edition. Current edition available from Blue Book Publications, Inc.
