Notable factory details include transitional markings—"Model 1894" on the tang paired with "Model 94" on the barrel—plus Winchester oval "WP" proofs on both barrel and receiver. These period-correct elements align with the 1906–1907 production timeframe.
The furniture consists of a straight-grip walnut buttstock and walnut carbine fore-end, complemented by a curved steel buttplate and a standard loop lever. Length of pull measures 13.0 inches.
Sights are the traditional iron set: a dovetailed front blade and an elevator-adjustable sporting rear leaf. The receiver has been drilled and tapped on the left side, and it wears an aftermarket side-mount base as installed.
Made in the United States by Winchester Repeating Arms, this carbine presents as a solid, period-correct example with practical updates limited to its side-mount base installation.
