Bert,My apologies on the description of the rifle itself as it was explained to me. It’s a 20 inch Eastern carbine. With the standard carbine shotgun style smooth butt.
Anthony
That makes much better sense.
Thanks for the update.

Hello Bert, been meaning to do this for a while and saw a link on NWF. So I dug out of the safe my 94 which is what you would call a “safe queen”, has not seen gun powder for 50 plus years. Yes it is in beautiful condition. It has a Lyman 56 site but other than that its stock. Not sure if you want this to add to your database or not but here it is. Would appreciate your knowledgeable input here or via e-mail, thanks. rnSerial # 912564rn26 inch barrelrn
Bert,
I have S/N 1,302,635. Interestingly the buttstock has the number 19 stamped in it.
Thanks,
Roy

Bert,
Another 1894 Rifle for your survey –
Ser# 854745
.25-35 Winchester
26″ round barrel (nickel steel)
Plain trigger, stock, and forearm
Crescent buttplate
Lyman #5 front sight
Barrel rear sight dovetail blanked
Lyman #1 tang sight (flip-down aperture)
The sights appear to have been on the rifle a long time. Were they offered as Winchester factory options during this time period?
Thanks,
Gus
Bert,
For you’re survey, within you’re first grouping, that you stated you we’re focusing on, as a second variation.
Model 1894, serial number #518848, mfg. 1911, 32-40 caliber, 26 inch octagon Barrel, with crescent butt. The rifle currently has a replaced half magazine, as the front hanger is missing for the full magazine, that once was on this rifle.

FYI several possible victims I don’t have pics of any of them yet but can snap a few later if that would be helpful.
An 1894 Eastern carbine? #1082139 in 25-35. 20 inch full mag. Has a full Buckhorn King rear sight and a King reflective pinned front—no saddle ring.
and just for science and research a couple 1894 rifles not in this range— disregard if not the proper place to post
# 348631 Fancy sporting rifle 30 WCF 26 inch octagon full mag pistol grip with cap and the H pattern checkering
#8196 standard 26 inch round barreled full mag in 38-55
& Will also include (from the 1930s era) a couple model 55 solid frames and a 64 short barrel—all in 30 WCF
I’ll post that info in the proper survey.
Thanks PH

Paul,
Please excuse my tardiness in replying to you post above. S/N 1082139 was manufactured late March 1932, and was very near the end of the Nickel Steel barrels.

Hello Roy,
Please excuse my very tardy reply to your message.
Can provide additional information? Is your Model 94 a SRC, Eastern Carbine, Rifle, or a Take Down Rifle?
