Iconic Lever Action Repeater Made 1920

Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 94 Lever Action Trapper Style Carbine, made in 1920 in New Haven, Connecticut. The credit for the design of such a prolific firearm again lies with John Moses Browning, who lent his extensive design talents to a large number of weapon types throughout his career. The Model 1894 was the first Winchester rifle made for use with the new technology of smokeless powder and was developed as a hunting rifle. Over 7.5 million were produced from 1894 until 2006. While various cartridges were supported throughout the run of the gun, the .30-30 Winchester became its staple. In practical use, the Model 1894 became a favorite for general shooters and hunters alike. To this day, it remains a deer hunting favorite, and, in all likelihood, more deer have been taken with the 1894 than any other.

One of the most popular subcategories of collecting pre-’64 Winchester lever-actions is the “trapper,” or “baby carbine” as it was originally called, a model with a barrel shorter than the standard length of 20". The term “Trapper” was a term never used by Winchester, who referred to them as “Special Short Carbines”. These little carbines are exceedingly rare as original from the factory and were ultimately discontinued in 1933.

In April 1919, Winchester eliminated the “18” and “19” from the model names of all of the various models that were in active production. So, prior to this date, the Model 94 would have been the Model 1894.

The overall condition is good. The barrel and magazine tube have been shortened to current length. The stock has also been shortened so that length of pull is 13”. Original blue finish and patina on the barrel and magazine tube. The top of the receiver has a small patch of a weld. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with strong rifling. The stock is solid. Both the grip and fore stock were hand checkered long ago.
