Description:
UNUSUAL, SPECIAL ORDER MODEL '94 .30WCF CARBINE WITH SHOTGUN BUTT, 2/3 MAGAZINE AND NO SADDLE RING, #976XXX, MADE 1925. By this date, saddle rings were being fazed out with some carbines having them and some being produced as "Eastern Carbines" without rings. Special order carbines, like this one, were much more scarce than special order rifles. The 2/3 length magazine is uncommon as is the shotgun butt plate. Combined, these features plus the lack of saddle ring made for a very light and fast handling hunting gun with a capacity or a round or two more than the more common (but still rare on a carbine) half or "button" magazine. The barrel on this carbine has the correct carbine ladder rear sight with elevator slide intact and is mated with the usual carbine front sight base that has a Marble blade/bead pinned insert a little high than standard. The barrel has the correct late markings "- MODEL 94 - WINCHESTER - NICKEL STEEL - .30 W.C.F. -" The upper tang also has the correct markings. The special shotgun butt stock has the Winchester embossed hard rubber butt plate, is in excellent condition with very tight wood to metal fit. The forend is also excellent. the receiver is mainly flaked to gray which is typical of 1920s vintage '94s as the blue and case hardening process used by Winchester at this time was different from early production guns and caused the blue to flake from the receiver very rapidly. The barrel retains much of the original deep blue with some thinning at the handling/balance point and toward the muzzle. The mag tube shows fine deep blue. Screws are excellent as is the bore and the action is tight. A very unusual late model '94 from the Roaring 20s and now nearly 100 years old!
