What’s Included
- Winchester Model 94 Trapper .30-30 lever-action rifle
The Trapper configuration delivers a compact 16-inch steel barrel secured by two barrel bands and paired with a full-length tubular magazine. This short-barreled carbine format is quick-handling while retaining the familiar Model 94 profile and operation.
It uses a top-eject receiver in the pre-Angle Eject configuration, consistent with its 1981 manufacture. Factory rollmarks from New Haven are present, including the "WINCHESTER PROOF STEEL" legend, and the barrel bears the Winchester oval WP proof.
Sighting equipment is traditional: a blade front and a semi-buckhorn rear with an elevator. The action is lever-operated with an exposed hammer and a half-cock notch. The length of pull measures 13.5 inches.
Walnut furniture includes a straight-grip, uncheckered stock and a walnut carbine forend, complemented by a black checkered Winchester-logo buttplate. The rifle is finished in blued steel throughout and is made in the United States.
