What’s Included
- Winchester Model 94 XTR Carbine .30-30 lever-action rifle
The XTR Carbine configuration delivers a compact, quick-handling 20-inch round barrel and a standard oval lever loop. It features a carbine front barrel band and a full-length tubular magazine running to the muzzle with a stated 6+1 capacity.
Receiver details include a top-eject design (pre-AE) with no angle-eject cut and no cross-bolt safety. The left receiver wall has two factory drill-and-tap holes intended for a receiver sight or base, providing flexible sighting options within the rifle’s classic configuration.
Sight setup is traditional and field-ready: a hooded ramp front sight pairs with a step-elevator semi-buckhorn rear sight. These iron sights complement the carbine’s fast handling and straightforward operation.
Materials and finish are equally classic. The barrel and receiver are steel with a blued finish, and the stock is walnut with a straight-grip and bordered checkering. The barrel is marked "Winchester Proof Steel," and the length of pull measures 13.5 inches. Made in the United States in 1980, this carbine reflects the Model 94’s enduring design.
