1977 Winchester Model 94 "Legendary Lawmen" Commemorative Rifle

The Trapper Tribute to Western Justice 

The Winchester Model 94 "Legendary Lawmen" edition, serial LL10613, was released in 1977 as a limited commemorative run of 19,999 units to honor the iconic sheriffs, marshals, and Texas Rangers who tamed the American frontier. While most commemorative Model 94s utilized standard 20-inch rifle configurations, the Legendary Lawmen variant is highly distinct for utilizing the 16-inch "Trapper" carbine profile. This ultra-compact architecture mimics the custom saddle-ring carbines favored by historical lawmen who needed a fast-handling, short-barreled long gun while operating on horseback. Chambered in the quintessential .30-30 Winchester, the rifle features a deeply engraved silver-plated receiver displaying historic frontier law enforcement scenes, a matching silver barrel band, and an antique medallion inlaid directly into the buttstock.

Condition and Action Highlights

Action: Classic lever-action top-eject system. Mechanically, the rifle is mechanically perfect, with the smooth, satisfying cyclic stroke characteristic of Winchester's late-1970s traditional manufacturing lines.

Finish: Features a silver-plated receiver and barrel band paired with a deep factory-blued barrel and magazine tube. The silver plating is slightly tarnished with a natural, light aged patina, but remains entirely intact with no flaking or bubbling corrosion.

Condition: Good condition; the satin-finished stock and forend exhibit some small dings and scratches as shown in the photos.

Bore: 16-inch barrel; features a pristine bore with mirror-bright walls and sharp, crisp rifling, confirming it has been fired very little, if at all, with non-corrosive modern ammunition.

Furniture: Crafted from select American walnut featuring dense cut-checkering on both the straight grip and the forend. The right side of the buttstock natively hosts the cast nickel-silver Lawmen commemorative star medallion.
