What’s Included
- Winchester Model 94 Carbine rifle chambered in .32 Win. Spl.
Chambered in .32 Winchester Special, this carbine retains the classic 20-inch round barrel and two barrel bands that define the Model 94 Carbine profile. The full-length tubular magazine holds 7 rounds, and the standard oval lever loop keeps the handling true to the period design.
Sighting equipment is traditional and functional: a ramped blade front sight without a hood and an open, elevator-adjustable rear sight. The left side of the receiver is drilled and tapped and fitted with plug screws for a receiver sight, offering factory-provided mounting provisions from the era.
The stock set is walnut, with a straight-grip buttstock and carbine-length fore-end. A checkered steel shotgun-style buttplate and a checkered spur hammer complete the steel-and-walnut build. Length of pull measures 13.0 inches, and both the frame and receiver are steel, made in the United States.
Markings include the barrel legend "WINCHESTER - MODEL 94 - WINCHESTER - 32 W.S." and the underside receiver marking "WINCHESTER - TRADE MARK - MADE IN U.S.A." Winchester WP proofs appear on the barrel and receiver ring. This top-eject, no-saddle-ring configuration is consistent with late pre-war carbines.
