Winchester Model 1894/95 Factory Hybrid Saddle Ring Carbine | Rock Island Auction
Is this a new addition to the survey?
Online
No, it is not a new entry. By serial number, it is the earliest documented Model 94/95 hybrid and also the first one with a 21.75″ barrel length. The receiver frame was serialized January 26th, 1928.
Currently, I have (82) of the Model 94/95 hybrids documented in the survey. Based on information discovered in the file boxes at the McCracken Research Library, it is believed that a total of 1,303 hybrids were assembled, and of that number, just (203) have the 21.75″ barrel length.

I may have a new serial number for the 94/95 hybrid survey. I inherited this Winchester model 94 saddle ring carbine from my uncle 25+ years ago, and only recently took it out of storage and cleaned it up to look it over. Serial # 1029327. I didn’t realize it was a hybrid until I read the highlighted article on the WACA home page. This one appears to be the 20″ with the dovetail front
sight, and it has a Lyman peep sight installed instead of the normal rear sight. I’ll try to upload some pics.
Hello Don,
You do indeed have a previously undocumented Model 94/95 Hybrid Carbine. It is the Type 1 variation, and it becomes the 83rd verified 94/95 Hybrid Carbine. The date of manufacture for you gun was August 7th, 1928. It is currently believed that Winchester assembled a total of 1,303 of the 94/95 Hybrid Carbines, all in the year 1928.
Thanks for posting the information about your gun.

Welcome, Don! Good eye! Good looking carbine.

Thank you Bert and Mike! Appreciate your responses and info.
I know its a ways off, but I look forward to attending the Wilmington OH show in September and seeing other cool collectible Winchesters and model 94’s!
Bert,
Its been almost a year since I originally posted, inquiring about the Hybrid 94/95 I had inherited from my grandfather some 30 years ago. Its been quite a year, and unfortunately, I was not able to attend the Wilmington, OH show. Sadly, I am likely going to have to sell this carbine due to my financial situation, and I was wondering if you could help me determine a reasonable asking price? I’ll add in a few more pictures to help, and if you could also offer some suggestions on the best way to sell this type of firearm, through online site, at a show, or to a dealer, I’d appreciate your recommendations. If I do need to sell it, I’m hopeful I’ll be able to find a replacement some day when my circumstances improve.
Thanks
Don

If I were in your shoes, I would ask $3K for it, and try selling it here on the WACA website to another member.
