The forged carbon steel barrel features a 1:16" right-hand twist that stabilizes traditional .32 Win. Special loads. Iron sights consist of a ramped bead front (hood removed) and a semi-buckhorn rear, with the receiver factory drilled and tapped for an optional aperture sight.
Forged steel construction extends to the receiver, lever, and other critical components—hallmarks of pre-64 production that contribute to durability and smooth cycling. The blued finish contrasts with the oil-finished straight-grip walnut stock and matching fore-end, both retaining crisp factory fit.
The carbine’s 13.25" length of pull and checkered steel shotgun-style buttplate deliver a traditional feel, while the exposed hammer offers familiar manual control. With serial number in the 2.4-million range, this rifle aligns squarely with 1960 Winchester records, underscoring its collectible status.
A 7-round tubular magazine keeps the profile sleek and balances well for field or range use. Overall, this Model 94 embodies the desirable pre-64 features in a caliber and configuration that remain practical for hunting or heritage shooting.
