The Black Shadow configuration pairs blued steel with a durable black synthetic stock and fore-end. The molded checkering provides secure purchase, and the factory rubber recoil pad is installed at the butt. A standard loop lever completes the familiar Model 94 profile.
The Angle Eject (AE) receiver directs ejection to the side. The receiver and barrel are steel with a blued finish, and the carbine-length magazine tube intentionally stops short of the muzzle. Capacity is 6+1 in .444 Marlin.
Sighting equipment consists of a hooded ramped front sight and a barrel-mounted adjustable rear leaf/elevator sight. Sling accommodations include a front sling swivel mounted to the magazine cap/band and a rear sling swivel stud at the toe.
Factory markings provide clear origin and material indicators: the barrel is marked "Winchester Proof Steel," and the rollmark reads "MADE IN NEW HAVEN, CONN. U.S.A."
