Cimarron Firearms the leader in authentic replicas from America’s Old West proudly reintroduces one of America’s most popular and famous lever-action hunting rifles of all time. The John Browning patented design was introduced in 1894 in two iconic cartridge chamberings the .32-40 and the .38-55. It was the first American-made repeating rifle to chamber smokeless powder rounds. This was in 1895 when nickel steel barrels and the 30 WCF or .30-30 were introduced. The Model 1894 has been referred to as the ultimate lever-action design by firearms historians.
