looking for a model 94 octagon barrel in 25-35 WCF. Going on a 1905 dated action.

You need a Model “1894” barrel, and depending on when exactly in 1905 the rifle was manufactured, the barrel may or may not need to have a proof mark on it. It was in May of 1905 that Winchester began stamping the superposed “WP” proof marks on the barrel and receiver frame. Additionally, the caliber marking needs to be on the top barrel flat versus on the 10 o’clock flat.

All valid points. CFM records show the serial number applied in October of 1905. Looking to make a shooter out of this one. Sometime in it’s past the barrel was replaced with a post war .30-30 carbine barrel. Of course they also left vise marks on the frame in the process.
