Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Pre 64, presumably .30 WCF, has the longer firearm, ramp front sight.

Just for fun here. The title resonates to me like a guy that should have been using an 86 in 33 WCF because he spent the night tracking a big 8 pointer! LOL!!!
I mean it is almost deer season here so you might understand my current mind set!!!!

The carbine in the movie obviously dates prior to late 1950 as it has the longer (9 1/4”) forearm vs the shorter (7 7/8”) forearm. How do I know these dates and dimensions? There it was in the Fall issue of the magazine, which arrived this afternoon. Saved me from asking embarrassing questions…
If I was a Winchester executive, after seeing the carbine with the shorter forearm, I would have nixed this change. How much could they have really saved and were they that desperate? They sure are UGLY.
In another thread, I believe it was Zebulon (?) who stated from 1918 to 1980, Winchester was not profitable other than the year 1966. Perhaps they were that desperate, but I don’t see how any company can survive being unprofitable for 61 out of 62 years.

Everything goes best with a Winchester 1886.
Stay tuned…maybe…

Good catch mrcvs. The 94 appears to be a flat band.
I was 10 years old when that movie came out, and it was filmed about 15 miles from where I live.

It is amazing how many of the old westerns show 94’s from the 1950’s and early 60’s
