Description

RARE Winchester, Model 1894 16'' TRAPPER SADDLE RING CARBINE, CAL: 25-35 WCF, MFG: 1910, SN: 466948, Lever Action Carbine, 16'' Round barrel, Full mag. This gun presents as a 16'' trapper, but factory records can only state date of production & can not confirm current configuration. Most trappers came with a 8'' forend, however other confirmed trappers did come with a 9'' forend as is the case with this model. The smooth walnut straight grip wood stock & forend are very good & solid. The stocks may have been lightly sanded, with added finish, but still retain all the expected scattering of small contusions, scrapes & scratches typical of the use most of these trappers received. There is a short 1/2'' grain crack at the tip of the forend, along with some edge chipping. The overall fit & finish of the wood remains very good & authentic. The receiver finish has worn to a mix of gun metal gray, with a thin layer of brown patina & spots of original blue in the most protected areas. The loading gate retains much of the original blue.The finish on the barrel & mag has mostly worn gun metal gray, with remains of original blue & some added blue in more protected areas & around the front sight. The blue around the front sight might have been added after the sight was possibly relocted there if the barrel was cut back, but no way of knowing. The end of the barrel is crowned as it is supposed to be. The end of the mag tube is brown with some pitting, but the edge does have show some silver as if it may have been cut down at some point. Bore is very good & way above average for trappers. The barrel is fitted with a rear carbine flip-up ladder sight, with the right ear of the sight missing, & a carbine box blade front sight. Buttstock carries a smooth carbine metal buttplate. All markings remain intact & strong. The action is tight & smooth, appearing to function well mechanically. A very nice looking example as configured as a 16'' SRC trapper. FFL or C&R Req. - Value: 6000 to 8500
