What’s Included
- Winchester Model 94AE Ranger Compact .30-30 lever-action rifle
The Ranger Compact pairs the proven Model 94 action with a shorter 16 inch barrel and a 12.5 inch LOP, creating a handy carbine that maintains full .30-30 performance. The Angle-Eject receiver design provides side ejection, and the right-side loading gate feeds a full-length tubular magazine with a 4+1 capacity in .30-30.
Controls and safeties are true to the platform, including an exposed hammer, the classic lever safety, and a top-tang sliding safety. The receiver top is drilled and tapped at the factory, with plug screws installed.
Sights are practical and adjustable: a ramped front sight pairs with an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with elevator for quick alignment. Barrel bands secure the magazine tube and fore-end in traditional carbine style.
The furniture includes a straight-grip, uncheckered hardwood stock fitted with a black rubber recoil pad, and a smooth hardwood forearm. The blued steel receiver, barrel, and magazine tube present a uniform finish, and the barrel bears the Winchester proof mark. This example was produced in New Haven, USA.
