Walter,

Bob R is nearing completion of a new addendum to his last book, and it will update many items including your question.  Because I have provided Bob with my Model 94 surveys for a number of years now, I can tell you the last Model 94 “Rifle” was much later than serial number 1080000. 

More specifically, Winchester did not stop production of the Model 94 Sporting Rifle until December 1937. Winchester announced in the January 1938 Salesman catalog that it had been discontinued as of that time.  The last serial number in 1937 was 1158835.  

In my ongoing research survey, I have recorded (17) rifles with serial numbers greater than 1080000.  The highest number is 1663507, a 32 WIN SPL, 26″ round barrel (dated “52”).  I have surveyed (140) Rifles with serial numbers later than 1022187.  That stated, I would like to add your rifle to the list.  If you would, please provide the details (e.g. barrel length, barrel shape, mag length, butt plate type, upper tang marking type, etc).

Bert

Walter,

Thanks, I have added it to the survey.  Below is a list of the Rifles I have surveyed thus far. There are a few that I did not get all of the details, maybe somebody here on the forum has one of them.

Matthew,

Yes, but we first need the Serial Number. Additionally, post a link to clear pictures of it.

Bert

Matthew,

The serial number identifies it as a 1912 production Model 1894. From your description, it is SRC (Saddle Ring Carbine), albeit missing the ring.
