This Model 94 Carbine dates to 1930, placing it squarely in the pre-war era and marked accordingly with the desirable Nickel Steel barrel legend. It also retains the original .30 W.C.F. caliber rollmark, reflecting its period-correct chambering nomenclature for .30-30 Winchester.
The carbine configuration includes a 20-inch round barrel and a full-length tubular magazine for a 6+1 capacity. The receiver is the classic top-eject style, and the rifle does not have a saddle ring, matching many late-1920s commercial carbines.
Sighting equipment consists of a hoodless front blade and an open leaf rear with a stepped elevator, offering a straightforward, period-correct sight picture. The steel receiver and barrel wear a blued finish.
Furniture is traditional walnut with a straight-grip stock and carbine fore-end, paired with a steel carbine buttplate. Length of pull measures 13.0 inches. Two small screw holes are present on the barrel top forward of the receiver, as noted.
