Winchester Model 94 Carbine .30-30 Lever-Action Rifle, 20 in Barrel, 1974 Top-Eject
This 1974 Winchester Model 94 Carbine is a classic, U.S.-made .30-30 lever-action with the desirable top-eject receiver. It features the traditional 20-inch round barrel, two barrel bands, and a full-length tubular magazine. Factory details include Winchester 'WP' proof marks, a barrel roll-marked 'Winchester Proof Steel,' and a left receiver wall drilled and tapped for a receiver peep sight (two holes).
Configured with a straight-grip, uncheckered wood stock and a black checkered composition buttplate bearing the Winchester logo, this carbine retains its blued metal finish throughout. Iron sights consist of a ramped front and a semi-buckhorn rear with an elevator, and the muzzle is unthreaded. The rifle uses an external-hammer, lever-action mechanism and holds 5+1 rounds of .30-30.

What’s Included
- Winchester Model 94 Carbine .30-30 rifle
Built in 1974, this Model 94 represents the enduring carbine configuration that made Winchester’s lever guns a mainstay in the field. It retains the top-eject receiver with no cross-bolt or tang safety, preserving the classic handling and profile. The 20-inch round steel barrel pairs with two barrel bands and a full-length tubular magazine.
The sighting system is set up with a ramped front sight and a semi-buckhorn rear sight with an elevator. The left side of the receiver is factory drilled and tapped for a receiver peep sight using two holes, offering a period-correct mounting point if desired.
Finish and markings are consistent with 1970s production: blued metal throughout, Winchester 'WP' proof marks, and a barrel stamped 'Winchester Proof Steel.' The furniture is straight-grip, uncheckered wood capped by a black checkered composition buttplate bearing the Winchester logo.
Operational details include an external hammer, lever-action operation, and a 5+1 capacity in .30-30. The muzzle is unthreaded, and the length of pull measures 13.0 inches, rounding out a carbine package that balances fast handling with traditional features.
