not sure how common a 20 inch octagon barreled 94 is buy I thought it was pretty cool
Thats not a carbine, its a short barrel rifle. The ARMAX article shows 2980 20″ rifles. I assume that number is both round and octagon rifles.

Thanks for the clarification, and I learned something. Still doesn’t seem like a common configuration, can’t decide if I like it or not. I like the look of the longer octagon, and shorter round barrels,the shorter octagon seems to just throw my eye off?
Interesting Gun, but the Ad doesn’t mention a Cody Letter and is the Fore-end the correct length for a Short Rifle ?
Mr. Rennebergs’ 94 book references different Fore-end lengths for Rifles shorter than standard.
Could it be a cut-down standard Rifle ?
The serial number is too high for a Cody letter. Forearm length looks about right but I don’t like the difference in wood color and finish.

The forend on 20-inch short rifles could be standard or short. This one appears to be standard.

If thats a 20″ barrel I measure the forearm at about 8 1/2″

I have a very similar rifle albeit somewhat older. Like the one under discussion it hasn’t led an easy life. Anyone know the price?

Anyone take notice of the “full Buckhorn” rear sight? That too is unusual on a short rifle. Roger B.
