What's Included
- Winchester Model 94 .30-30 Carbine (manufactured 1973)
Built in 1973, this Model 94 retains the desirable top-eject receiver without scope-mount holes, representing the post-1964, pre–Angle Eject configuration from Winchester’s New Haven facility. This era is known for traditional carbine handling and sighting with unobstructed ejection.
The carbine layout centers on a round 20-inch steel barrel paired with a full-length tubular magazine for a 6+1 capacity in .30-30. The barrel is roll-marked "Winchester Proof Steel," and the action uses a right-side loading gate with the classic exposed hammer.
Factory iron sights include a hooded ramp front bead and a semi-buckhorn rear that adjusts for elevation via a stepped elevator. Two barrel bands secure the fore-end and magazine tube, keeping the carbine’s profile compact and quick-handling.
The stock is walnut with a straight grip, smooth finish, and a shotgun-style butt. A checkered alloy buttplate with the Winchester Repeating Arms medallion provides a distinctive factory detail. The length of pull measures 13.0 inches, and the overall finish is blued, including the receiver.
