What’s Included
- Winchester Model 94 Saddle Ring Carbine (SRC) chambered in .32 Win. Spl.
This carbine carries clear barrel markings: "-MODEL 94- WINCHESTER - NICKEL STEEL - 32 W.S.-" with "TRADEMARK" under WINCHESTER. The 20-inch carbine barrel uses two barrel bands and feeds from a full-length tubular magazine rated at 7+1 capacity. The front sight is a carbine blade integral to the front barrel band (non-ramped), paired with a sporting leaf rear sight with a step elevator.
The receiver is the classic top-eject pattern with a right-side loading gate for swift topping-off. A saddle ring and staple are present on the left side of the receiver, as expected for the SRC configuration. The blued steel construction reflects Winchester’s period build and finish.
Stock furniture is straight-grip walnut with a walnut carbine forend and a steel carbine buttplate. The length of pull measures 13 inches for compact handling. A circular inlaid stock disc on the butt is marked "WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO.", adding a distinct period detail to the rifle.
Mechanically, it uses an external hammer and the proven lever-action system. Chambered in .32 Winchester Special, this 1925 SRC is a well-configured example with the features collectors look for, from the Winchester Nickel Steel barrel to the correct sights and saddle ring assembly.
