Bert, three more for your survey.  

All three are SRC’s with 20″ bbls.

#934193, 30WCF, carbine sights

#956985, 32WS, with 32WS marked sight

#921263, 30WCF, carbine sights

  

#921263 – October 1920, does it have Gumwood or Walnut stocks? 

#934193 – November 1921, same question, Gumwood or Walnut stocks? 

#956985 – April 1923, same question, Gumwood or Walnut stocks? I will assume that you are referring to the Special Smokeless sight?

I believe they all had Walnut stocks.  All the stocks were dark, if that is any indication!

#956985, yes the special smokeless marked rear sight.

Hello Bert,

I apoligize for not getting back to you oh the above 1894 rifles.  By the time I got back to the gun shop that had the rifles two were gone the remaining one was Gum wood.

I have another that fits in your spectrum for the 1894 rifles.

 

1894

Flush mag tube

Long fore stock

30 WCF

I am not sure about the bbl length, 24″ or 26″

Trap door in the butt.

Is this a standard Sporting rifle?  

26″ round barrel, full length mag, crescent butt ?

Standard length was 26″.  Did it have a round or an octagon barrel?

Round bbl.  I did write down 26″ for the bbl but didn’t measure it.

I am sorry you have to pull this info out of me, I will have to come up with some sort of check off list to carry when I visit gun shops!

No problem… I am quite adept at asking questions. Smile

It does not do me much good.  The rifle with “1894” on the tang and “94” on the barrel is not factory original (replaced barrel).

Bert, I know but thought WACA members should know about this and that the SN could be used for future reference. Don
