FIREARMS INFORMATION
Pre-64 : The Winchester model 1894 was introduced in October of 1894 apparently starting at serial number 1. In late 1963 it ended at serial number 2,6000,011. Individual parts interchanged for most of these guns with exceptions of pistol grips, barrels and some stocks for the different variations. This model also had some siblings that also used most of the same internal parts. These models included the model 55, and the model 64. All of the post-64 guns were all top eject models.
Calibers included 25-35, 30 WCF (30-30), 32 Winchester Special, and 38-55, also in a small quantity of 219 Zipper in the model 64.
The original standard 26' octagon barrel rifle version |
This model rifle up to about 1930 could have had a round or octagon 26' barrel. Even a part round/part octagon barrel could have been had if special ordered. They usually had a steel crescent shaped buttplate as shown above. They also could have been special ordered with a 1/2 pistol grip stock and lever, or even a take-down version. After the Depression of the early 1930s, many versions were dropped and the commonly seen one was the 20' round barreled carbine. The carbine usually would have had a different steel 'carbine' buttplate with a flat comb until about serial number 1,100,000 when the later 'flat' type buttplate became common. Some carbines had a 'Sling Ring' attached to the left hand side of the rear receiver, & were commonly called Saddle Ring Carbines or 'SRC'. This SRC version was stopped before WWII & a flat standard grooved or checkered steel buttplate was then used.

The 94 and the model 55 could have been had in special order with a 'Takedown' barrel version. This had a barrel extension permanently attached to the barrel which was fitted to the receiver using an interrupted thread system where the magazine tube front lock system could be twisted unthreading the magazine tube from this extension and the front of the receiver, dropping the lever slightly to allow the barrel and forearm assembly to be completely removed from the firearm. This feature apparently was also dropped in about 1930.
The model 94s did not have any checkering on the wood unless it was a special order gun. The model 55 used a longer 24' barrel and a 1/2 length magazine tube. The model 64 was a pistol gripped improved version of the preceding model 55, could have been had in 'Standard' uncheckered wood or a 'Deluxe' with checkered wood and sling swivels.
After WWII when commercial production was resumed, the 20' carbine was the only model that survived other than the model 64. This carbine sported a rounded comb buttstock and ramped front sight base was the common version until the end of 1963.
Wood would have been walnut, except for some SRC guns that had gumwood.
Original sights were varied over the years, as well as aftermarket ones possibly fitted over the firearm's lifespan, so it would be hard to truly identify exactly what was original without a lot of leg work.
