What's Included
- Winchester Model 94 Pre-64 Carbine rifle chambered in .25-35 Winchester
Built in 1949, this Pre-64 Model 94 retains the desirable carbine layout: a 20-inch round barrel made of Winchester Proof Steel and a full-length under-barrel tubular magazine secured by two barrel bands. The top-eject receiver and exposed hammer provide the period-correct handling and function associated with early Model 94 carbines.
The rifle wears open sights consisting of a protected blade front on a banded base and a semi-buckhorn rear with a stepped elevator, giving clear, traditional sighting references appropriate for the carbine format. Capacity is 6+1 in .25-35 Winchester.
Furniture is classic walnut with a straight, uncheckered grip. A flat, checkered steel shotgun-style buttplate finishes the stock, and the length of pull measures 13.0 inches. Winchester oval WP proof stamps are present on both the barrel and receiver.
Additional marking includes an "O.G" inspector/assembler stamp on the bottom tang. Made in the United States and representing the Pre-1964 era, this example combines notable production details with a clean bore and defined rifling.
