Mod 94 half magazine |General Discussions & Questions|Forum|Winchester Collector

Hi, 

I have a Mod 94 with a 20″ barrel and a half-length magazine tube.  I have never seen one like it anywhere online.  Interested in any additional information.  I purchased the rifle new about 1992 in a chain sporting goods store in a mall in Memphis.  (I don’t remember the name of the store, not large, not Dick’s or Bass Pro. I don’t remember the exact cost, but it was on sale and a good deal.  It has hardwood stock (not walnut) and is very nicely finished.  I had a gun smith install a set of Williams aperture sights and at the time he remarked on how hard the receivers were and that it would require a carbide drill to break through the case hardening. I think this is NOT one of the sintered steel receivers. I speculate that this was part of a special run made up for this store chain, perhaps using old parts, for a value price point they could promote. I only shot the rifle a few times, but my impression is that it is quite accurate, functions smoothly and surely.

I have tried researching for a match, and have never found anything like it in any reference book, etc. ‘curious if anyone can shed some light on this.

Many thanks,

Fox Creek
