Winchester Model 94 Carbine .32 Winchester Special, 20 inch Pre-War (1941), Top-Eject, Blued/Walnut, 6+1
This pre-war 1941 Winchester Model 94 Carbine stands out for its authentic carbine configuration and less common .32 Winchester Special chambering. It features the earlier rounded front fore-end band, a top-eject receiver without cross-bolt or tang safety, and a 20 inch barrel with classic iron sights. The combination of period-correct details and American manufacture makes it a compelling example for collectors and Winchester enthusiasts.

What’s Included
- Winchester Model 94 Carbine chambered in .32 Winchester Special
Built in 1941, this pre-WWII Model 94 retains hallmark carbine features: a 20 inch barrel, full-length tubular magazine, and the rounded front fore-end band associated with pre-war production. The top-eject receiver reflects the classic operating pattern and period-correct design.
Chambered in .32 Winchester Special, this rifle represents a less common option for the Model 94. The magazine provides a 6+1 capacity in this chambering, pairing traditional lever-action handling with practical field capability.
Sighting equipment includes a hooded ramp front sight and a semi-buckhorn rear sight with elevator, providing a familiar and effective sight picture for the carbine format.
Materials and finish are true to the era: blued steel receiver and barrel, straight-grip walnut stock, walnut forend, and a horizontally serrated steel carbine buttplate. The 13.25 inch length of pull supports the fast-handling character of the Model 94 carbine.
Manufactured in the United States by Winchester Repeating Arms, this example brings together pre-war production, top-eject operation without cross-bolt or tang safety, and the .32 Winchester Special chambering—attributes that align well with collector interest in early Model 94 carbines.
