In 1848, Walter Hunt of New York patented his "Volition Repeating Rifle" incorporating a tubular magazine, which was operated by two levers and complex linkages. Left to right Carbines two 1873/1894/92/Trapper 92. The Model 1873 was particularly successful, being marketed by the manufacturer as "The Gun That Won the West". Developed from the 1860 Henry rifle, Winchester rifles were among the earliest repeaters.
Winchester rifle is a comprehensive term describing a series of lever action repeating rifles manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. The entire set of parts is contained in a hardwood, glass-topped, display case with tags attached to many of the pieces.Full-stocked "Musket", Carbine, Sporting model Includes one receiver of the later takedown pattern with a short section of barrel attached, four additional short barrel sections, a longer 20 1/2 inch barrel section marked "MOD./1906", six bolts in various stages of completion, two bolt carriers, two magazines, a metal "M 06" marked slide handle, multiple cartridge stops from both models with tags listing development changes, an "original" and "new model" 1890 trigger, two firing pins, various springs, and a plethora of other small parts. Many of these pieces are tagged with notes directly from the tool room at the Winchester factory detailing what the pieces are and changes that have been made during development. These sorts of tool room sets were extremely valuable during production as they established the standard to which all other parts should be held. These pieces would have been used to ensure that manufacturing tolerances and interchangeability of parts was maintained. This scarce and desirable set of Winchester tool room parts and gauges was assembled for development and standardization in production of the Model 1890, and subsequently the Model 1906, slide action rifles.
