Your winchester model 1894 rifle was made by winchester in 1970.
With the serial number that you provided,Your Winchester model 1894 rifle in .32 special was made by Winchester in 1904.
If you will provide me with the serial number I can answer your question for you.
Winchester.
Manufactured in the year 1951.
1960 32 win special top condition
Your serial number indicates that your Winchester model 1894 rifle in 32 Win.Spl. was made in the year 1969.I believe that Winchester dropped the 32 Winchester Special chambering in the year 1972.I was fortunate enough to find a Marlin model 336 chambered in 32 Winchester Special a few years back.Mine was made in 1950 and is enjoying life as a deer rifle for my grandson as it was intended.
it's 44 years old (1964)
The Winchester Company introduced the 32 Calibre rifle in 1873. For it they created four different types of bullets including the Winchester 32 special.
32 caliber... "32 W.S." is the designation for the 32 caliber Winchester Special cartridge.
I'm assuming that this is a model #1894 Winchester, if that is true then this 32 Special was manufactured in 1911.
first of all Winchester never made a rifle in 34 Winchester special,I am assuming that you mean 32 Winchester special.If that is the case it will use 32 Winchester special ammo.I would advise you to have a competent gunsmith go over the rifle and ensure that you have the right caliber and it is safe to shoot before going to the range.
