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.

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.

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

Hello,
New to the forum. I just purchased a Winchester model 1894 in 30 WCF. It has a half round half octagon barrel that measures 26 inches. It also has three leaf express sites a crescent butt plate and a button mag. The serial number is 395995. Any information would be greatly appreciated and I hope this helps your survey.

I had this rifle previously documented in the survey. Per the factory records, it was manufactured in May 1908.

Just out of curiosity is it all original? The barrel has quite a bit more bluing than the rest of the metal parts. Thanks.

You will need to post (or send me) clear pictures of the rifle. I do not remember what it specifically looked like, and my research survey records just note the physical statistical information (i.e. barrel length, barrel contour, variation, magazine length, stock configuration, etc.).
