About the Company

In the year 1866, more than 150 years ago, Oliver Winchester left a significant mark on the history of rifle-making when he founded the Winchester Repeating Arms Company with the intention of producing exceptional guns and ammunition. Oliver Winchester, “a man of vision and influence,” as many considered him, fulfilled his intention and built an industrial empire around the lever-action rifle. Sporting a polished brass receiver, the Model 1866 “Yellow Boy” lever-action rifle was the first gun to bear the Winchester name. Fast forward a few years, to 1880, Oliver Winchester died at age 70, but his legacy remained.  The Winchester Model 1892 lever-action rifle soon proved itself to be the moviemaker’s favorite, while revolvers chambered in .38-40 Win., .44-40 Win. and .45 Colt were also well received.

Winchester helped pave the way for modern-day rifle manufacturers, and their decades of experience and craftsmanship can also be seen in their high-quality ammunition. They offer a variety of ammo for handguns, rifles, shotguns, and rimfire rifles. Today, the Winchester brand is owned by the Olin Corporation and made up of numerous members who are devoted to the maintenance, collecting, and learning about Winchester rifles and related products, as well as the role these products held in shaping the history of America’s firearms. 

About the Rifle

Winchester Model 94

Winchester Model 94, also known as “the rifle that won the West”, is a lever-action rifle first introduced way back in 1894. It was made specially for powerful cartridges loaded with the new smokeless powder that had just been developed, and replaced the earlier models 1886 and 1892. It was made in two versions – rifle and carbine – of which the carbine became the more popular one by far. Originally, it featured a top-ejection system which did not allow for easy scope mounting. Because of this, the rifle was given an angle-ejection design in 1983. It features a steel receiver with mounting bores on the side. Its safety catch is located under the grip. The rifle was discontinued in 2006. It was reintroduced in 2010 and has since been released in several different variants.
