Winchester 9422M: Famous Silhouette Rifle

1 year ago
203

Designed by John Browning in 1894, the carbine was chambered in .32-40 and .38-55, both black powder rounds. Smokeless chamberings followed, and the Winchester 94 became legendary as the most popular lever gun ever made, topping 600,000 by 1991.

Winchester came out with this lightweight .22 Magnum model in 1972. Primarily chambered in .22 LR, the WMR-chambered guns were a bit rarer. All Winchester 94 production ceased in 2006, although Browning imports a close copy of it from Japan today.
