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!

Wait a minute...... Drake doesn't use a 1894 does she?

In this one, kind of if you look closely at the lever. Yes the M1894 did have a few that had the pistol grip slant, but they were not as common to find.

It took me a bit of digging to figure out because she uses a Shotgun, and loads it with shotgun rounds, but it’s not an M1887 because she loads it from the side and not the top.

So to narrow it down, it is technically a mix between a Winchester Model 1894 and a Henry .410 Shotgun.
