You may have this already. S/N 534866, 30 WCF, 20″ octagonal barrel, solid frame, full magazine. I don’t have the rifle in hand but will measure the fore end and verify that it has a shotgun butt when it returns.
Just acquired 1894:
1. Ser.# 307292
2. 20″
3. 9 3/8″
4. Round
5. Full length
6. Takedown – yes
7. Standard weight round
8. Crescent
9. 25-35
10. Lyman #3 front, 2 leaf center, 1A tang, saddle scabbard (well used)
Hope it’s new to you, came out of an estate.

TX,
I already had this one, but was missing the fore-end length, and also had it as a crescent butt. Can you confirm either of these data points?
Thank you.

Yes, this is a new one for the list. Sounds like a very interesting, and appealing short rifle. How about some pics of this one?

Gary,
I was alerted to this Short Rifle…
Note that it has a factory checkered steel shotgun butt plate (Chris was interested in seeing one of these).

Guys,
I’ve checked on that rifle already, it does not letter with the 22 inch barrel. Everything else shows up on the letter.

Thanks so much for all of you who’ve contributed so far.

Hi Don,
Yes, I found that one and already had it from another auction site. That’s a good looking deluxe in original condition, and priced right so far. I like the smooth steel buttplate, those aren’t found very often on the 1894s.
Happy New Year
