Payment Types Accepted: checks, cashiers/bank check, money order Description: SELDOM SEEN SPECIAL ORDER 1894 .25-35 CALIBER, EASTERN CARBINE WITH FACTORY CRESCENT RIFLE BUTT STOCK, #902XXX, MADE 1920. This is a very interesting and unusual 1894 as it was ordered without a saddle ring and with a crescent butt plate. While this carbine is too late to letter, the stock and forend are made of such unusual gold/red, straight-grained matching pieces of walnut with extremely tight wood to metal fit that there is no doubt about the originality of the stock. Carbines ordered with rifle stocks are extremely rare. This one retains fine barrel and magazine blue and is fitted with an appropriate buckhorn rifle-style rear sight paired with a traditional carbine small blade/bead front sight. The receiver has typically flaked to gray, which is typical of this vintage ’94. There is still fine deep blue on the loading gate and some aged blue on the bolt. Tight action , exc. screws, safety notch on the hammer holds correctly and the trigger pull is light and crisp- perhaps ordered that way from Winchester. Bore is sharp and excellent. A very interesting and rare configuration 1894 in a very desirable caliber!
