Description
There is something about working a lever gun that a pump or semi-auto just cannot match, and the TriStar LR 94 brings that feeling to the .410 bore. This version wears a color case hardened receiver over oil-finished Turkish walnut with a straight grip stock, and it draws its lines straight from the classic Winchester 94 pattern, right down to the open-top receiver with angle ejection. TriStar even installs a leather lever wrap at the factory, a small touch that saves your knuckles during long afternoons of busting clays or chasing rabbits.
What the LR 94 Brings to the Field
The 24 inch blued barrel is chambered for 2.5 inch shells and feeds from a traditional tube magazine with a side loading gate, giving you 5+1 on tap. A shot plug comes installed for hunting and pulls out easily through the magazine cap when you want full capacity. Up front you get a blade sight with a brass bead, matched to a rear sight adjustable for windage and elevation, so this thing can pattern shot loads or steady up on a slug with equal confidence. The threaded muzzle accepts Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke tubes, and a Modified tube ships in the box, which is a big step up from the fixed-choke .410 lever guns of the past.
A .410 Lever Gun That Earns Its Keep
With mild .410 recoil, a rubber recoil pad, and a 14.25 inch length of pull, the LR 94 is easy on the shoulder and quick to the cheek, which makes it a great trainer for new shooters and a fun gun for anyone. Reviewers have run it hard on hand-thrown clays and upland birds with flawless cycling, and it carries well at around 6.4 pounds. Squirrels, rabbits, pests around the property, or just an afternoon of plinking, this little lever gun handles it all. TriStar backs it with a five year warranty, and the fit and finish punch well above what you might expect from the brand's value-focused reputation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What ammunition does the TriStar LR 94 use?
The LR 94 is chambered for 2.5 inch .410 bore shells only, so 3 inch magnum loads will not fit. Within that limit it runs birdshot, buckshot, and slugs, and the tube magazine plus side loading gate feed them reliably. Common 2.5 inch field loads like number 6 or 7.5 shot are a great match for small game and clays.
Does the LR 94 take interchangeable choke tubes?
Yes, and that is one of its best features. The barrel is threaded for the Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke pattern, and a Modified tube comes installed from the factory. That means you can swap to tighter or more open constrictions depending on your load and quarry, something older .410 lever guns with fixed chokes never offered.
What is the capacity of the TriStar LR 94, and can I remove the plug?
The tubular magazine holds 5 rounds plus one in the chamber. A shot plug ships installed in the magazine for hunting situations that limit capacity, and it comes out by unscrewing the magazine cap when you want all six rounds available.
Is the LR 94 a good gun for new or smaller-framed users?
It is a great fit for that role. The .410 bore produces very light recoil, and the rubber recoil pad and 14.25 inch length of pull keep it comfortable and easy to mount. At around 6.4 pounds it carries and swings without wearing anyone out, which makes it a fun way to introduce someone to wingshooting or small game hunting.
