What’s Included
- Winchester Model 94 Carbine rifle chambered in .30-30
Chambered in .30-30, this Model 94 Carbine carries a 20" round steel barrel and a full-length tubular magazine rated for 6+1 capacity. The carbine layout includes two barrel bands and no saddle ring, matching the configuration of the era.
The top-eject receiver with a right-side loading gate reflects the classic pre-safety design, with no cross-bolt or tang safety. The left receiver wall is factory drilled and tapped for a receiver or peep sight, and the original plug screws remain installed.
Sighting equipment is traditional and practical: a hooded ramp front sight paired with an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight. The firearm retains a blued finish on both barrel and receiver, with Winchester’s oval proof present.
Stocked in walnut, it wears a straight-grip buttstock and a black checkered composition buttplate with the Winchester logo. Barrel rollmarks include "MADE IN NEW HAVEN, CONN. U.S.A." and "WINCHESTER PROOF STEEL," underscoring its U.S. manufacture.
