Presenting the Winchester Model 94AE Black Shadow lever-action rifle - a fine intersection of classic design and modern flair. This elegant firearm is in very good condition, showing only superficial signs of prior handling. It's a great addition to any firearm collection or a reliable partner for your hunting trips.
The Model 94AE (Angle Eject) Black Shadow is a proud offering from the iconic Winchester Repeating Arms Company. Introduced in the late 20th century, this model features a unique design where spent cartridges are ejected at an angle, allowing for the mounting of a scope. The Black Shadow submodel comes with a matte blued finish that minimizes glare and visibility, making it an ideal companion for hunting.
The rifle is chambered in .444 Marlin, a potent round known for its stopping power, making it suitable for hunting large game. It comes with a 4-round capacity, a 19.75" barrel, and a lever-action mechanism noted for its reliability and mechanical simplicity. The black synthetic stock and forend feature aggressive checkering for a better grip. The front ramped blade with a silver bead is shrouded by a hood, and the rear sight is a dovetail u-notch with green fiber optic sights. It's been drilled and tapped for scope mounts, although no scope has been mounted yet.
It also includes cross-bolt safety and factory sling swivels.
Despite some wear and scratches on the right side of the receiver, this hard-to-find model stands as a testament to Winchester's history of crafting reliable and powerful firearms. Owning this rifle is not just owning a tool; it's owning a piece of history.
