Shitpost / Memes Winchester Model 1894 Appreciation Post

Post image

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet ANOTHER Gun Appreciation Post, where this time, we got ourselves a classic, and yes this does have Canadian Lore to it funny enough!

Not only was it (and still is) a popular rifle for hunting, it was also issued to one of the regiments in Canada during WW2 on the Pacific Coast, in particular for British Columbia, when there was the fear that the Japanese could possibly land on Canadian Soil (Which thank goodness it did not happen).

Everyone really does need a lever gun in their collection, and let’s be real, you probably have one of these after getting your PAL, since it’s one of the more common acquisitions that anyone will get. It also could’ve been your Grandpappy’s gun, so take good care of it!

Anyways! Enjoy!

How does the 1894 compare to the 1892?

It's longer to accommodate more powerful cartridges.

The Model 1892 is also better if you have .357 Magnum or .44 Magnum Reproductions. You can also run Specials through them too!
