Winchester Model 1894 Saddle Ring Carbine
serial # 75086, 38-55 Win., 20" barrel with a very good bore having some scattered specks of pitting. This is a very fine carbine manufactured in 1896. The barrel and magazine tube retain 97% evenly thinning original blue finish. The receiver retains about 60% thinning original blue finish with the balance bearing a pleasing light brownish gray patina. The hammer and lever retain about 75% original case colors which have mellowed in the more exposed areas and are quite strong elsewhere. The straight grip walnut buttstock and forend rate excellent with a few light dings and having been treated with some sort of wax or other protectant. This carbine is equipped with standard sights and a Lyman No. 1 tang peep sight. The peep sight mounting screw heads are slightly misshapen. A very nice investment grade Winchester carbine.
