Our Assessment: The Winchester 9422 is a late-era lever action rifle that makes the best of the storied functionality and dependability of the rifles that came before it. Based on the company’s tried and true Model 94 Lever Action carbine, the rifle was rather popular in the time it was manufactured, starting in 1972 and going until 2004. This rifle is an ideal choice for those new to shooting, or for parents that want their children to begin taking the responsibility of being a shooter. I highly encourage you to take a look at the condition in our high quality photos. Good luck on your bid.-C.M.
