Description:

Manufactured in 1921, this is an incredible, near new example of a Winchester Model 94 saddle ring carbine. From the time of its introduction to the public in the late 19th century, the Model 1894 carbine was extremely popular, particularly in the American West, where portable firepower was highly valued on the vast swathes of frontier that remained untamed. Even as the west was settled and tamed, these rugged carbines remained a mainstay there, filling new roles as a durable hunting gun or a utility gun for farmers and ranchers looking to protect their livestock from predators. These carbines were most often viewed as a tool by those who carried them, and though they were often well-cared for, they commonly show the signed of hard use and general wear, making near new examples such as this almost unheard of on the collectors market. This outstanding example has Winchester factory oval proofs on the barrel and receiver at the breech, which became standard starting in 1905. The standard two-line address and patent dates is marked on the upper left in front of the rear sight, and the nickel steel marking and caliber designation are on the left nearer to the breech. The upper tang is marked with the three-line model designation and trademark, with the model marked as "94" rather than "1894", a change that occurred in 1919-1920. The serial number is marked on the bottom of the receiver. It is fitted with the standard pinned blade front sight, folding ladder rear sight, and a saddle ring on the left of the receiver. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a carbine buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, retaining 97% plus of the original blue finish on all components apart from the buttplate, which retains 95% plus of the original blue and some very light flaking, with a few scattered very light handling marks overall. The wood is also excellent with a few scattered light handling marks. Mechanically excellent. This is an incredible example of a Winchester Model 1894 saddle ring carbine that would be difficult to improve upon!
