Well I have a 1968 Buffalo Bill rifle that has a Saddle ring and I know the carbines came with it. So it would be after that
Mark,
You are mixing apples & oranges. The Model 94 commemoratives are a whole different subject.

thanks for the reply I would really be interested in knowing what was
the last year that the 94 was cataloged with the saddle ring?
Jim,
I currently have all of my catalogs loaned out to a good friend of mine, so I am unable to check them at this time. Off the top of my head, I want to say that it was 1932. Saddle rings were an optional item until production was halted during WW II.

Bert, Maybe I’m just phrasing a previous question differently. If saddle rings were standard on carbines through 1931, were saddle rings offered as special order in catalogs after that?
They were offered as an "optional" item until August of 1942. I suppose that if someone really insisted, Winchester would install one right up through December of 1980 when they got out of the firearms manufacturing business all together.

No saddle ring hole on the 1932 carbine I bought on posted today.
Serial No. dates to 1932.
Depths of the Great Depression, only 1,884 units made that year.
I went with the date and originality over finish.
My kind of gun.
I will, however, need to get a Lyman No. 2 in order to get any accuracy.
