Winchester and John Moses Browning designed the Model 1894 as the first Winchester developed for smokeless powder. It has by far been the most popular of Winchester's iconic lever actions and remains one of the most popular hunting rifles in the U.S. This outstanding example of a Winchester Model 1894/94 carbine was manufactured in 1921 and has a pinned blade front sight, notch/folding ladder rear sight, standard markings, a saddle ring on the left, and a smooth stock and forearm. Included with the rifle is the original hang tag (torn). A braided rope has been added to the saddle ring to prevent it from rubbing the action. It is chambered for the ever popular .30-30 cartridge that has taken more deer in North America than any other round. It was the first small-bore hunting cartridge designed for smokeless powder in the U.S. and debuted for the Model 1894 in 1895. Both have been incredibly popular; more than seven and half million Winchester Model 1894s have been manufactured and an untold number of .30-30 bullets have been sent down range by them.

Excellent plus. Possibly unfired. 98% plus of the original blue finish remains. There is some small flakes on the sides of the receiver, some light handling and storage marks, and some very minor spotting at the muzzle. The wood is also excellent and has only very minor handling and storage marks. The action functions flawlessly, and the markings are distinct. This is an exceptional Pre-World War II Winchester Model 94 saddle ring carbine.
