The carbine configuration delivers the quintessential Model 94 profile: a 20 inch round Winchester Proof Steel barrel, two barrel bands, a full-length tubular magazine, and a straight-grip American walnut stock. The receiver is the post-1964 alloy type with a plated/blackened finish and top-eject design.
Factory sights include a hooded ramp front and a semi-buckhorn rear with elevator for quick, practical sighting. The standard lever loop, exposed hammer with serrated spur, and carbine-style banded forend round out a familiar and functional setup.
Winchester oval WP proofs are stamped on the barrel and receiver ring, and the barrel is marked Winchester Proof Steel. The buttstock wears a shotgun-style black checkered buttplate with the molded Winchester Repeating Arms logo.
Manufactured in 1976 in New Haven, Connecticut, this Model 94 represents the 1970s production era. Capacity is approximately 6+1 in .30-30, with a 13.5 inch length of pull for a traditional carbine fit.
Practical upgrades include installed sling-swivel hardware: a fixed buttstock sling loop (wood-screw base) and a band-mounted front swivel, ready for the buyer to add a sling of choice.
