Hi Bert,
here’s another one for the survey. Not sure if you have it already or not…
Winchester 1894, serial 14403, Round Barrel, 30WCF.
Thanks, but it is not in my survey range. My survey covers serial numbers 1 – 7999 and 354000 – 2600011.

Info for the new to me 94
That is one that I had already documented. Winchester made a significant sized batch of 25-35 WIN. Model 94s in that serial range. This is a list of those that I have surveyed to this point;

It’s in rough shape, but the bore is great. Looks like it sat in a closet for a while. When did it come up?

I have no idea… I do not record that information in my Model 94 survey (way too many guns to track).

Hi Bert,
Haven’t been on the forum in a long while. Picked up an 1894 saddle ring carbine for your survey. It a .38/55, half magazine, larger style shotgun butt, hard rubber buttplate. Serial number 308788. May not be recorded yet.
It is not in the serial range for my survey… I am looking for serial numbers in the 1 – 7999, and 354000 – 2600011 ranges.

OfflineHello Bert,
I’ve sent you a few things in the past, this gun doesn’t fit into the parameters of this thread, but I couldn’t find a general 1894 one.
This gun is an earlier one, sn 37800, 38-55, 28″ hex, full length tube, crescent butt plate rifle. I’m not sure what else is important, let me know what else you need.

Bert 611020 was actually 311020 so not in the range you need
1389072 is a 30WCF with a 24 inch barrel
1789753 is a 30-30 with a 24 inch barrel
Both are Engraved. The wood appears to be deluxe and is checkered. Let me know if you need anything else. thanks
Something is not correct… 24-inch barrels were discontinued well before serial number 1389072 was manufactured. The barrel length should be 20-inchs.

Hi Bert,
One of these is correct. I’ll let you decide…
1. April Fools
2. Congrats, You passed the test! The WACA Board just wanted me to make sure you weren’t slipping as the official Historian 🙂
3. I screwed up and you are correct they are both 20 inch!
Happy Easter everyone! Enjoy the holiday and hopefully great shooting weather for everyone!
