Don,

The Model 94 Transitional Carbine is perfectly legitimate, and it was one of the last 38-55 Carbines made before Winchester discontinued the 32-40 and 38-55 cartridges in the Model 94. Per the serial number, it went through the PR in early December 1937. Winchester officially discontinued the 32-40 and 38-55 in January of 1938.

Very nice pre-war but not a true transitional. It does not have the SRC buttstock. I would like to see the type of steel listed in the marking. The 92 is one of the few with a sight hood but I’ve never noticed that type hammer on a 92 before – I’ll leave that for someone else’s book.

Bob,

The Model 94 in question has a Proof Steel barrel, and it is in my survey.
