Our Assessment: There are few organizations that have helped pioneer and traverse the rugged and rough terrain of American History like the National Rifle Association. Founded in 1871 with the Rifleman in mind, to provide military training to the civilian population, the NRA helped shape the American way of life in the aftermath of the Civil War and the pioneering of the Western Frontier. The NRA helped the people take power against the hardships and dangers of the Wild West and the rapid expansion of the industrial complex that transformed society. The NRA in its day helped shape the destiny of the American Rifleman in his journey though and for liberty and freedom. It is only fitting that Winchester in 1971 was authorized by the NRA to produce a commemorative 100th Anniversary rifle that truly represented the heritage and high standard of the distinguished organization and the value of the American way of life. This NRA Centennial Model 94 Musket is patterned after the Military-style Model 1895 Winchester that was specifically designed for NRA requirements.
