Built in 1966, this post-64 Model 94 features a sintered-steel receiver and top-eject action with no cross-bolt or tang safety, preserving the familiar handling and sight line of traditional 94 carbines. The lever-action mechanism uses an exposed hammer, and the rifle retains the straight-grip carbine profile.
The 20-inch round carbine barrel is marked "Winchester Proof Steel" and wears a blued finish. Two barrel bands secure the assembly, and a full-length tubular magazine provides a 7-round capacity in .30-30 Winchester.
Sights are practical and period-correct: a hooded ramp front sight paired with an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with elevator. The setup offers a clear sight picture suited to the Model 94’s intended use.
The stock is straight-grip walnut with an uncheckered finish and a steel carbine buttplate. Length of pull measures 13.0 inches. Made in the United States, this carbine presents the quintessential Model 94 configuration and chambering that helped define American sporting rifles.
