What’s Included
- Winchester Model 94 Antique Saddle Ring Carbine in .30-30 with 20-inch barrel (manufactured in 1980)
This carbine retains the top-eject receiver without an angle-eject cut, preserving the traditional Model 94 ejection pattern. The receiver shows a color case-style finish with factory light scroll engraving on both sides, complemented by a blued barrel and magazine.
The 20-inch barrel feeds from a full-length tubular magazine secured by two barrel bands, providing a 6+1 capacity in .30-30. Sighting is classic and practical, with a hoodless ramped front sight and a semi-buckhorn rear sight with elevator.
Distinctive accents include a saddle ring on the left side in a gold/brass tone and a matching gold/brass-toned loading gate. The barrel rollmark reads: "WINCHESTER – ® – MODEL 94 30-30 WIN. MADE IN NEW HAVEN, CONN. U.S.A. WINCHESTER PROOF STEEL." The bottom of the receiver carrier cover is marked "MODEL 1894" over "WINCHESTER."
The stock is hardwood with a straight, uncheckered grip and a 13.5-inch length of pull, finished with a black checkered composition buttplate molded with the "Winchester Repeating Arms" logo. The overall package reflects the Antique series saddle ring carbine configuration from this era.
Made in the United States in 1980, this full-size Model 94 combines classic Winchester markings and build features with tasteful, factory-applied engraving, offering a clean example of a late-20th-century saddle ring carbine.
