What's Included
- Winchester Model 94 Carbine (.30-30)
Built in 1978, this Model 94 is a New Haven, Connecticut production carbine in the traditional top-eject format. It is the standard, non-XTR configuration with a standard (non-large) loop lever, consistent with late-1970s production.
The rifle is configured with a 20-inch round Winchester Proof Steel barrel and a full-length tubular magazine for a 6+1 capacity. Twin barrel and magazine bands with a domed magazine plug complete the classic carbine layout.
Factory iron sights include a ramped front blade and an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear leaf with elevator. The left side of the receiver is drilled and tapped and currently fitted with filler screws, accommodating a receiver sight if desired.
Furniture consists of a walnut straight-grip stock and carbine forend, paired with a Winchester-logo black composition buttplate. The metal is finished in bluing, and the action uses an exposed hammer. Oval proof stamps are present at the barrel/receiver junction.
Additional period-correct details include the pre-Angle-Eject top-eject action and the clean, straightforward carbine profile that made this model a .30-30 staple for decades.
