I found this Winchester musket

[SFC Rick]

A local collector must have passed on or something else. The LGS has a lot of Winchesters they are selling. This is the 2nd one I have bought. It's the Centennial NRA model 94 in 30-30 originally sold in 1971-72. It is in almost new condition. I couldn't obtain the carton, because the LGS never got it. The musket has a 7 shot capacity through a 26" barrel.

Certainly a nice gun but I could do without the NRA embellishments. Just looks tacky.

Nice find! That makes me want to put on a pair of bell bottoms, grow sideburns and go to the local disco!

I had thought exactly the same thing. I heard someone talking about a Winchester musket once before and looked this up. "The Model 1873 was produced in three variations: a 24-inch barrel rifle, a 20-inch barrel carbine, and a "musket"—which was aimed at military contracts and only made up less than 5% of production. (Musket was a term that, at the time, denoted a full length military-style stock, not to be confused with a true smoothbore musket). "

Winchester NRA Musket

A 2nd one? That's cool.

That Winchester '94 NRA Musket is Unique.
The long 26in Barrel, flip up Rear Sight, and
long Wood Forearm really sets it off from the
other Truck Load of '94 Commemoratives.

Wall Drug SD has the Win '94 NRA Musket
hanging up in the Restaurant side room. I
always look for it every time we stop there.
Mr. Hustead has quite the Collection of '94
Commemoratives on display there.

My Favorite Local Gun Shop seems to be able
to get '94 Commemoratives from time to time.
The most expensive one sold recently was the
"Crazy Horse". John Wayne does good too.
The rest are usually one third the price of a new
one.

Thank you for the Pictures too.

Yep nice rifle and should be a good shooter.
Give it good function check first. A lot of the commemorative Winchesters have very poor actions and I believe this was due to them not having been finish fitted at the factory as the thought was they were never going to be shot.
I own two, a 20" 1968 Buffalo Bill and a 26" 1966 100 year commemorative and both took some work to get them cycling properly - especially the 100 year but now its operating well and is a great shooter.
Hopefully you got a good deal on your musket. Very few commemoratives have any real collector value and prices have been dropping on them. Some can be had in the same price range as a fair pre 64 - or less actually. One of the worst for value is the Canadian centennial model but that makes it attractive for someone looking for a 26" octagonal barreled shooter. I saw one a couple years ago for $550 - and it wasn't moving very fast!

Yeah Winchester made a lot of them for sure. My friend bought the Oliver F. Winchester version in 38-55 back in 1980 or 81. Was listing for $650 and he ended up paying $600. Wonder what it would bring now?

Now that is something you do not see every day for sure...

 

[SFC Rick]

I haven't seen a version of a lever action like this before. Not my cup of tea, which is the perfect reason to pick it up.

 

[JayFramer]

I'd LOVE a military style "musket" looking lever gun but chambered in .44 magnum. Could probably get 15 shots out of that 26" barrel! Would be a really nice fighting rifle.

Very nice, but not a musket. A musket is a muzzle loader.

I will respectfully disagree.

Interesting discussion on the definition of muskets. Before this thread, I thought musket referred to an unrifled barrel in what one would otherwise think of as a rifle.

I like the look of the OP's rifle. (Oops! Musket!) Sort of a half Mannlicher look.
