You guys feel like reading this over and seeing if I missed anything.

I don't consider myself Winchester knowledgeable anymore, so this is more of a SWAG, but my belief is that the barrel has been changed out. No proofmark on the barrel or takedown ring that I can see and without going to my books I believe the barrel markings are from a later period; i.e. Model 94 instead of 1894 and 30-30 instead of 30 WCF. Looks to be refinished too.

Just my 1 cent! [:D]

I called the owner of this one and talked to him about the barrel a little bit. I hope it does well for him.

Serial number 471133 was made late in 1910.
Winchester went from "Model 1894" to "Model 94" in 1919.
.30 WCF was changed to 30-30 in 1950

Mike is right. It's a $750 30-30.
