"Forgotten Weapons" is one of my favorite YouTube channels. I wish I had Ian's job!
A couple months ago, ahead of one of the auctions, he did a multi-part series on the development of... Winchester lever action rifles!
I thoroughly enjoyed this series. I apologize if this has been posted before (and amazed if it has not!). Here you go:

Winchester 1892: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv2LI9Z_qB4
Winchester 1894: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jd4JeYeN9fU
Winchester 1895: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZmoJBRoIHQ
Ian did not go into the Winchester lever actions issued in the 19th century, which, as you know, were basically updates of these earlier models.
Enjoy!

If more men loved and cherished their wives as much as I love bacon the world would be a much better place.

Forgotten ... not hardly
The 1894 SRC in the 1894 video is a dead ringer for my very first 94. Wish I still had it.
