- Winchester Model 94 Trapper .30-30 lever-action rifle
Built in 1981, this Model 94 Trapper features the sought-after top-eject receiver used prior to the Angle Eject change. The barrel legend indicates New Haven manufacture and "Winchester Proof Steel," aligning it with period-correct 1980s production from the United States.
The factory 16 in Trapper-length barrel is paired with a full-length tubular magazine and two carbine barrel bands, delivering a compact, traditional carbine profile. A stud-mounted saddle ring on the receiver’s left side underscores its classic carbine configuration.
Sights are practical and period-correct: a ramped blade front sight and a semi-buckhorn rear sight with elevator. The action is lever-operated with an exposed hammer, staying true to the Model 94 design.
The wood furniture includes a straight-grip, uncheckered carbine stock and a matching wood carbine forend. A black checkered Winchester Repeating Arms logo buttplate, sling swivel loops at the fore-end band and buttstock toe, and a 13.4 in length of pull round out the configuration.
