Just stumbled on this site while researching my 94 - what a great resource with awesome historical info! Thank you for compiling all of this, I've enjoyed reading all the replies.<br />
 <br />
I have 1330940, 30 WCF, checkered buttplate. The barrel is stamped 42 and the receiver 40. Near the front, where the mag tube meets receiver, it appears to be stamped with a "D" and an "A" or arrow - it's hard to tell. Bought new by my great-grandfather, it is still chasing blacktails in Lewis County, WA!<br />

<p>I suspect that you have one of the Canadian PCMR Carbines.  The marking you are describing is most likely the Canadian Broad Arrow that looks like this;</p>
<p><img data-upload="1" data-width="1024" data-height="398" title="1335237-Receiver-marking.JPG" alt="1335237-Receiver-marking.JPG" src="https://winchestercollector.org/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-image-uploads/bert-h/2026/08/1335237-Receiver-marking.JPG" /></p>
<p>The serial number identifies it as an April 1942 production Model 94, and it is right in the middle of the known serial numnber range for the 2,500 Winchester carbines purchased by the Canadian government and shipped to British Columbia during WW II.</p>
<p>If you can do so, please send me a picture of the marking on your Carbine</p>

<p>Okay, well then you have two Lyman-Ideal Reloading Tools then. The one I've pointed out in the photo is also a Lyman-Ideal Tool.</p>

					                        <description><![CDATA[<p>I'm assuming that you're talking about the tool in the top left corner of your photo. The nickel plated tool is made by Lyman-Ideal or the Ideal Reloading Tool company depending on how its marked. Based on your last description its a Lyman-Ideal manufactured tool, after the Lyman corporation bought the Ideal Reloading Tool company in 1925. </p>
<p>It does have somewhat of a connection to Winchester Reloading Tools but its not a Winchester tool. John Barlow used to work for Winchester and had several patents credited to him while at Winchester. He later branched off and started the Ideal Reloading Tool company. Years later Lyman purchased the company. This being about 1925. By all accounts Winchester was out of the reloading tool business by then.</p>
<p>Boxed sets of the Lyman-Ideal reloading tools are not all that uncommon to locate. The 25-20 R being Lyman-Ideal nomenclature for 25-20 "Repeater" a.k.a. the 25-20W.C.F. not to be confused with the 25-20S.S. The advantage the Lyman-Ideal tools do have is that the mold and reloading tool are all in one tool. Winchester always sold their tools and molds as separate items and not a combined tool item.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Maverick</p>
