Winchester Model 94 Post-64 Top-Eject .30-30 Carbine, 20" Barrel, 1979 Production
Made in 1979, this Winchester Model 94 Post-64 Top-Eject Carbine represents the final top-eject generation produced before Winchester switched to angle-eject receivers in 1982. It features a 20-inch barrel, a full-length six-round tubular magazine, and the cost-reduced sintered steel receiver typical of late-1970s production. Drilled and tapped for side-scope mounts, it offers flexible sighting options while retaining the classic lines and handling that made the Model 94 a benchmark among lever-action carbines.

What’s Included
- Winchester Model 94 Post-64 Top-Eject Carbine chambered in .30-30 Winchester
Produced in New Haven, Connecticut, this carbine uses a matte-blued carbon-steel barrel paired with a matte-blued sintered-steel receiver. The hooded ramp front sight and step-elevator semi-buckhorn rear sight provide a clear, traditional sight picture for woods hunting or range work.
The straight-grip walnut stock and matching fore-end maintain the Model 94’s familiar feel, while the factory plastic buttplate bears the Winchester logo and helps keep overall weight manageable for extended carry.
A 13.5-inch length of pull suits average adult shooters, and the exposed hammer with half-cock safety remains unchanged from earlier models, preserving classic manual of arms.
Factory drilling and tapping on the left side of the receiver allows easy installation of a side-mount optic without interfering with the rifle’s top-eject function—a useful feature for hunters who prefer glass without altering the rifle’s original profile.
