Just found this picture of my 1927 vintage M94 SRC in the scarce 38-55. Bought this carbine in 2007 from a Cabelas here in Utah. The only outstanding features of this carbine are the gumwood stocks and the nice condition, marred only by the beginnings of flaking. It’s a keeper. # 1004027. Big Larry
Really nice SRC, Larry. Can’t believe you have already had it for 10 years now.

Have several longer than that. Model 1890 since 1959. Thanks, Big Larry

Still have every Winchester I ever bought, except the 1st one I got in high school which my father sold when I was away at college. Longest is since 1972.

On the 1894 , 38-55 SRC, is the general feeling a button mag helps or hurts value ?

First off – Big Larry – that is one beautiful carbine. You have 100% of my approval. The .38-55 is my favorite caliber in the ’94 SRC.
As to the question Bill poses, my sense is that the general feeling is a button magazine hurts rather than helps the value of a SRC. However, that feeling does not resonate with me. A button mag is a special order feature and we know special order features are rarer on a carbine vs. a rifle. Also, I love both the aesthetic appearance as well as the handling aspect of a button mag. carbine. Personally, I would pay more for a button mag. version than less – but that is because I buy what I like.

Personal opinion only: button magazine acceptable (but not preferred) in rifle, looks bad in carbine.
