What’s Included
- Winchester Model 94 Pre-64 Carbine in .30-30 (1952)
The carbine configuration includes a 20-inch round steel barrel secured by two barrel bands and a full-length tubular magazine with a 7+1 capacity. It uses a lever-action, top-eject system with a right-side loading gate for feeding .30-30 Winchester cartridges.
The rifle is built on a blued steel receiver with a polished hot blue finish throughout. It wears a straight-grip walnut buttstock and walnut carbine forend, complemented by a checkered steel buttplate. The length of pull measures 13.0 inches, and the hammer is exposed with a knurled spur.
Sighting equipment is factory iron: a hooded ramp front sight paired with an open semi-buckhorn rear sight with elevator. The left side of the receiver is factory drilled and tapped, with plugged holes intended for a receiver/aperture sight. The top-eject receiver preserves the classic handling and ejection pattern of this era.
Markings include Winchester oval proof marks. Barrel rollmarks read "WINCHESTER PROOF STEEL" and "MODEL 94 – 30-30 WIN," aligning with its 1950s production in the United States. This is an authentic Pre-64 carbine from 1952 with period-correct features and configuration.
