Uberti 1894 Lever Acton rifle in 30-30 cal at IWA 2017 Part 2

Please support us at: / capandball
The 1984 model, firing the 30-30 Win cartridge is completely new in the Uberti line, and it is made with the same passion and quality as their other historical arms. The retail price will be around 1200 euros, and it will be sold in several other versions as well.

The Model 94 was a staple of US law enforcement in some areas well into the 1980's with many highway patrol cars having one, as well as being extensively used by prison guards. (The benign visual of a 'hunting rifle' helped with PR amongst the hoplophobic public.) As with revolvers being replaced with semi-auto pistols, the Model 94 eventually replaced by Mini-14s, AR-15s, and M-4s in US law enforcement usage, with 'evil black rifle' image apparently now accepted by the hoplophobes at least in hands of law enforcement. Glad to see Uberti making them especially for those markets with more fascist gun laws.

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

Dor Aran → "Hoplophobic"?

[@tberkoff]

Nice rifle, but Uberti really needs to start doing oil rubbed finish on the stocks instead of the shiny, lacquered finish that they use on all their Winchester repros. I never understood why Uberti lacquers their stocks. Chiappa does it right with their stocks.

[@beau4687]

Doublecanister4thUSArty yeah my 1873 Winchester from uberti is an absolutely beautiful rifle in fit, function, looks and quality but the wood work, which by no means is bad wood, does look a little wrong being so shiny and all

[@453421abcdefg12345]

Doublecannister : I think you will find that this "toffee apple" finish is what the original Winchester stocks were finished in, they do look horrid, that is why I cant understand why they do not offer an oiled finish.

[@cs-rj8ru]

I'm happy to see a Uberti 1894...But why didn't they copy the original 1894?? What they've copied is the post 1964 (1965-1982 ish) model from the looks of things in the video.... Pretty much the least desired variant..... Considering Uberti builds reproductions of classic/historical guns, why would they have made such a poor decision?? Somebody missed a board meeting?

[@rjwintl]

Taylor’s Firearms in Winchester, Virginia has them ( again ) for the ridiculously low price of $1667 plus tax !!! … I remember buying a real Winchester model 94 in 1976 for $75 , truth be told !!!

[@behindenemylines3361]

Where's the cowboy hat? If you are going to hold a lever action a cowboy hat is a must!

[@jeffryheintz9405]

I have two 94s, a 26in. octagon barreled rifle, (1922) and an eastern carbine, (1928) both 30 WCF. They are excellent rifles. Winchester quality started sliding downhill in 1964. By the 1980s, if your wanted a good lever action, you bought a Marlin. Judging by the other Uberti firearms that I own, I am sure this new 94 is a great gun. Perhaps as good as any pre 64 original. Keep up the good work Capandball, I enjoy your videos very much.

[@kanonierable]

I love how they make the gun with no stupid modern "safety" button but instead with that traditional system integratet with the lever. Also I very much like the straight shoulder stock and how beautifully the wood is polished. Uberti definitely knows how to make fine guns.

[@karsonbranham3900]

So nice to see an alternative to the old classic, especially without the ugly cross lock safety like the current Winchester production rifles!! I shall be looking for one of these soon!

[@wackattack180]

Uberti makes beautiful weapons and the quality is awesome for sure :-) Thumbs up!!!

[@beau4687]

Hopefully they come out with some new calibres, 32-20, 38-55, 45 colt, 44 mag ect. 30-30 Winchester 94s are so common I don't feel like these will be overly popular. Although I reckon the quality will be equal or better with the pre 64's though

[@rle440]

I have the Cimarron/Uberti version. I love it!

[@thesheepman220]

Nice rifle great calibre another 94 on the market which consumers have more choice, I have a 94 ae made in America and love it , in its day I think the 94 in 30/30 was what the AR 15 in 223 or 556 is today

[@workingguy6666]

My father has a Winchester 94, and it's the brush-gun that I developed my tastes around. What I'd like to see is if this Uberti is made better than, and shoots better than, the Winchester 1894's that have been made in the last 15 or 20 years (or so - there is no doubt the quality dropped with them).

[@BilgePump]

Hey nice! And as u might hav noticed i'm a fan. If i was buying new I'd rather buy that than one made in Japan. No offense.

[@mikecuddihey2037]

Europe has descended into paganism. The place is a mess. No wonder you can't even get a traditional lever action rifle with full capacity. The EU is a big part of the problem, as well. Maybe I shouldn't look down on them since I'm Canadian, but there it is. May tomorrow be a brighter day. You're only truly defeated when you give up!

[@lckgilmo43]

Dude lied. You can only adjust buckhorn sites for elevation not windage. That's why alot of owners don't use them. They'll mount a scope or peep sites.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Hammer forged frame he mentioned. Does anyone know if the '94 reproductions also have hammer forged barrels, both in round and/or octagonal?

[@jesseh8719]

wish they would have made it with a 24 inch barrel; would buy it today

[@kenibnanak5554]

Does the replica havve the original V spring mechanism, or does it use the newer coil spring arrangement?

[@cs-rj8ru]

Well, since the action appears to be a post 64 design, I'd gamble coil springs.

[@raymondeaton5692]

I have a Chiappa 1892 carbine that is great but the wood is nothing like that Uberti 1894.

[@jeffleblanc8850]

Get areal one ther out ther I would buy a used Winchester no garbage safety you got a safety on the original a half cock and the pin that hold the trigger until you pull up on lever will not fire look for a pre 64;ther tons of pre and post out ther for a good price unless to have a ton of cash and don’t want the real thing don’t get me wring Uberti makes a beautiful rifle but I would want real thing

[@georgecostanza2514]

Uberti’s are beautiful but dont last always have to fix something on them.

[@robertahle5045]

Keep up the good work. love all the historical videos

[@gunwatcher81]

Will Uberti market this in the United States, given that the Winchester New Haven plant shut down in 2006 and the Mossberg 464 isn't an exact replica?

[@landfair123]

I have my .357 Winchester Marlin. Its a great gun. Just wish the ammo was not so expensive anymore.

[@siestatime4638]

I have a 1947 vintage '94 Winchester in .25-35 WCF. Sweet, sweet shooter.

[@spaxspore]

why when you can buy a 1894 Winchester pre64 here in the states for less than 500... IN .30WCF (30-30)

[@453421abcdefg12345]

spaxspore: You may be able to buy them cheap in America, but there is a whole World outside of America you probably have not heard about. There they are not so cheap, and generally have been shot hard, and put away wet!

[@thelegate8636]

Dude, where are you finding pre64s for that cheap. I call bull on that.

[@asherdie]

Carolus Rex in the state of Figment, in the town of Imagination.

[@jayn8392]

I want in on this hidden stash of $500 pre 64's!

[@spaxspore]

GunBroker. Hit me up on Gunboards and ill send you my invoice. As well as a pic of gun. Not sure where you guys are but if you are in the states the 1894 Pre 64 Winchester can still be had for reasonable money (sub 600 all day). In Europe this my be more attractive.

[@pikeywyatt]

just keep showing me all the gun's .. i cannot have.but i will keep watching..lots of thanks.

❤️

[@T3hderk87]

That is one beautiful rifle! I hope one day I may lay hands upon it. Greetings from California!

[@blueband8114]

Do you think you will get a chance to shoot some of the new rifles your viewing? maybe on your channel.

[@capandball]

Yes. I will visit the factory in June to try the new guns.

[@blueband8114]

Look forward to seeing it.

[@danieltaylor5542]

Two capandball videos today and its not even noon here. Its a good day.

[@capandball]

Wish I could make my historical videos just as fast as these IWA reviews :) Unfortunately a good historical video takes at least a month of research and range time :)

[@acklan3]

This channel rocks. Rock on.

[@vanillagorilla6845]

Interesting, I wouldn't have thought there would enough of a demand for a model 94 repro? Original 94's are a dime a dozen

[@tannstang]

This one is without all the modern safety stuff

[@Tuton25]

Six Gun James The '94 is still in production by Winchester, but maybe European import regulations is why this exists...

[@cs-rj8ru]

You're mostly right...Uberti sells quite a few firearms in the EU..I think cheap Winchesters dont really exist there... They would almost certainly have to be as good or better than some of the junk Winchester made in the last 30 years...

[@bluesman7475]

Are these available in the USA?

[@FilippoFontanella]

Uberti is Italian? Or some italian surname?

[@adamlogan8161]

Simply beautiful.

[@dimassalazar906]

I wonder how much it's going to cost? The 1873s are too expensive. So are the 1886s.

[@spaxspore]

then you are looking at the wrong maker. He states its going to be 1200 euros

[@Bryl25]

Should be of better quality than the late production Winchester made 1894s

[@cs-rj8ru]

Perhaps, but from the look of it, they copied the post 64 model....Might not be much better.

[@canthandlegaming499]

Is there any new information on this or reviews?

[@The_Austin_Doell]

Be good for the European market, but when I can get one here in North America for under $300 I'd go with that.

[@cs-rj8ru]

LOL what?? A new in box model 94 for $300? These are real firearms, not airsoft. Used win 94's in 30-30 are bringing over $600 now-a-days. You might find one with no blue and full of rust pits $300 if you look long enough.

[@The_Austin_Doell]

@@cs-rj8ru that comment was 5 years ago bud, ofcourse the markets change, I've seen them sell for over $1000 for a fair example

[@jeffryrichardson9105]

Beautiful! 😀💥👍🏼❤️🇺🇸

[@MFGordon]

If they really wanted to make a repro of the original Winchester model 1894 they should duplicate the nickel steel receiver that caused the bluing to to wear off.

[@MFGordon]

Early 1894s, those made from the 1890s through the 1930s usually lost their bluing, on some guns some of it appears to have flaked off. I believe it was the nickle steel that was unable to hold the bluing. On many of those guns the receiver has turned grey even though the barrels and other steel parts still have a deep blue color. Those from the late 30s through the 1962 usually keep their bluing. The post 64 model 94s (which really began around 1962/63) had a ductile iron cast receiver that had to be iron plated in order to be blued. As the bluing wore the ugly material of the receiver below became apparent. Any attempt to re blue the post 64 receiver usually resulted in a purple receiver. The Uberti rifle in the video has a color case hardened receiver which never existed except for one or two custom rifles from New Haven .

[@cs-rj8ru]

@@MFGordon Later Post 64 guns were made from forgings and took blue very nicely. Current post 64s are cut from billet and blue just as nice. Early post 64 guns can hold a reblue very nicely, but you need to iron plate them before a blue. not many shops are capable fo that.

[@jayn8392]

I REALLY don't like that lever safety. looks really nice other than that, if a bit on the pricey side

[@capandball]

It is removable ;)

[@TheBiggestIron]

Jay N Well it is an original feature straight out of the mind of John Moses Browning.

[@dilbertbob5420]

Very nice rifle!

[@chriskelly509]

Kool deal!

[@bchrider]

i think it is a shame that if you want an American legend it has to come from a foreign country now.....but at least they are making good ones compared to what is left here the 336....but then again most americans want cheap and are not willing to pay for the quality anymore...they would rather have 15 cheap ones that a couple of good ones

[@royalleague8077]

nice gun

[@terry.akascrappydappy9476]

Awesome!!!!!!!

[@clazy8]

"love it! "

[@leverfever375]

what is the cost?

[@capandball]

cca 1200 euro

[@phileas007]

but, Winchester themselves make cheaper repros. Why does Uberti even bother?

[@leverfever375]

I bought a brand new 94 in 38-55 yesterday. 1300 CND.

[@jghjghjghish]

this gun.. what for?? only killing humans or what???

[@Legitpenguins99]

jghjghjghish I don't know...hunting, target shooting, collectors need I continue? But hey, if you wanna use it as such that's on you. Just be prepared for 25 to life.

lol good point. so i better use it for.. collecting
