Winchester Model 1894 Saddle Ring "Trapper" Carbine, Rare 15 Inch Barrel, Cal. .30 W.C.F., 1926 Vintage SOLD
Description:
This 1926 vintage Winchester Model 1894 Saddle Ring "Trapper" is fitted with a 15 inch barrel, full length tube magazine, walnut stock and forearm, blade front sight, adjustable carbine ladder style rear sight, and is chambered in .30 W.C.F. (30-30). Trappers with barrels 15 inches and shorter had unique features, such as a shorter forearm, 8 inches in length rather than 9 inches, forged front sight base to barrel with pinned blade, and the barrel stamping was located between the front sight and the barrel/foream band. These guns are very rare and were never a Winchester cataloged item, were than discontinued in 1933. Most were sent to Australia, South America, and the American southwest. This 94 "Trapper" is in excellent original condition, retaining 70% original blue on the barrel and magazine tube. The receiver has lost all of its original blue, most likely from flaking, and has turned a silver/brown/grey patina. The lower grip tang retains 80% orignal blue, the lever and hammer, about 20%. The steel butt-plate retains traces of original blue, with the rest having turned a silver/grey patina. The bore is somewhat bright, with sharp rifling , but there is a very light coating of corrosion. The action is crisp with a tight lock-up. The stock and forearm look untouched and retain 90% of their original finish, with assorted handling marks, the worst being a scuff by the right side of the upper tang/behind the hammer. It appears this gun was handled much, but fired very little. Comes with a Dept. of the Treasury letter determining this gun as a Curio and Relic. Also included is a April 2016 "I have this old gun" article from the "American Rifleman" regarding the Winchester Model 94 "Trapper". Sorry, no box or other paper-work.
