Winchester Model 1894 Saddle Ring Carbine .30-30, 20 in Barrel, Blued Steel and Walnut, 2015 Miroku-Japan
This Winchester Model 1894 Saddle Ring Carbine in .30-30 is a 2015 Miroku-Japan production example with classic carbine configuration and as-new condition. It features a 20 in round barrel, blued steel receiver, and straight-grip walnut stock, with a factory saddle ring and traditional iron sights. The included factory box with matching end label supports its well-kept provenance.
The carbine configuration is true to form: a 20 in round steel barrel, full-length tubular magazine (6-round capacity), and two barrel bands. The straight-grip walnut stock pairs with a carbine-style curved buttplate, and the walnut forearm completes the traditional look. The blued steel receiver and barrel present a clean, satin-blued finish consistent with modern Winchester production standards.
Sighting is handled by a ramped front sight and an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with a stepped elevator. Safety features include a top-tang sliding safety with a red indicator dot, a rebounding hammer, and a hammer-block safety. The lever loop is standard size, and the 1:12 twist rate supports traditional .30-30 loads.
Markings include Winchester Model 1894 rollmarks on the barrel and tang. The factory specification for this 20 in carbine lists approximately 38 in overall length and about 6.5 lb weight. Build quality reflects Miroku-Japan manufacture under Winchester, combining modern production with the Model 1894’s enduring carbine layout.
