What’s Included
- Winchester Model 94 Lone Star Commemorative .30-30 lever-action rifle
Issued in 1970 as a limited-edition tribute to Texas statehood, this factory-engraved Model 94 carries dedicated LS-prefix serialization and prominent commemorative markings. The receiver displays a star-border motif with 1845 ★ 1970, and the underside of the action is inscribed UNDER SIX FLAGS, tying the design directly to the theme of the series.
The rifle combines a gold-tone plated receiver, lever, forend cap, and buttplate with a blued, round 26-inch barrel. The barrel is marked LONE STAR COMMEMORATIVE in gold fill, delivering a striking contrast against the deep blue. The smooth, straight-grip walnut stock and forearm include a right-buttstock gold-tone Lone Star medallion and an oval Winchester medallion in the toe-line.
Built on the classic top-eject Model 94 pattern with a saddle ring, this rifle uses a half-length button magazine with a stated capacity of five rounds. Sighting is via a hoodless blade front and a semi-buckhorn rear with elevator, maintaining traditional Model 94 sighting characteristics.
Chambered in .30-30 Winchester, this commemorative remains a U.S.-made example that blends practical Model 94 configuration with distinctive period embellishments. The 13.5-inch length of pull provides a traditional fit that complements the straight-grip stock profile.
