This is one of the last model 94's manufactured by Winchester at its New Haven plant before closing for good. It is not a current, licensed Japanese reproduction. It is one of a rare few built in 450 Marlin. After original purchase, it was test fired, cleaned and put away in the original box with all factory documents. It is in pristine, LNIB condition. The standard, factory installed 24/7 Express peep sight increases sight radius by 50% from the traditional buckhorn sights. The barrel will still accept traditional buckhorn sights if you wish. The oil finished stock is nicely checkered at the forend and pistol grip. Japanese versions are not checkered. The 18" barrel is ported to tame the potent 450 Marlin. Empty weight is 5 pounds 15 ounces. Includes factory recoil pad. Rifle is 100% factory stock. You can buy a Japanese reproduction for $1600.00 or you can buy this original "made in the USA Winchester" for the same price. Cash or Postal Money Order only.
