Yes Blue. Been carrying that old Saddle Ring 30-30 you gave me on the mule. Still shoots good!!! But I got the hankering for a nice 94 rifle in plain ol 30-30. Well this one fit the bill. Take down model too!!!

That's a nice looking piece.
Saw the thread title and thought "1895", but was plesantly surprised at the 1894.
I've had a bunch of rifles but find it difficult to find one more utilitarian than a Win M94 carbine in .30-30, and though that one is not a carbine, it would still be an easy-carrying rifle.
Congrats.

Thanks fellas. Like I said got the hankering for a nice 1894 rifle and .30 WCF was the cartridge i wanted. Have plenty ammo as I have two other 94’s here, and SRC and an eastern carbine. But I just wanted a nice rifle. Serious considering using it on this years elk hunt. I’ll take a ‘95 too for just in case! 🤣
I believe it was born in 1909

Good Job! It looks like a rifle that fits your character. Old fashioned yet very deadly and effective.

Looks like a nice take down Rifle with an extra longer than standard Barrel. Is that a 26 inch barrel, or possibly Longer?

Nice rifle ! Just a thought....a lot of these old guns get a little loose and I think even though they are proofed nickel steel doesn't mean they were designed for the modern souped up 30-30 ammo on the shelf now. Anyway, at least over the long haul.

That's a fine rifle and I bet with it's long barrel it hangs fine for an offhand shot. I predict that you will get a nice elk with such a classic! Oh, wait a minute...can the pip-squeak .30-30 really kill an elk?  I wish things like that followed me home.

Very nice K. I like that old round. My 94 is a carbine made about WW2. I really have two from that time, one a .30 WCF and the other my dad's a 32 spl. I have taken game with both. When I get a hankering to use the .30WCF now is it mostly my Marlin 24" half magazine. Always thought I would like a rifle in that model. Enjoy. Looking forward to a photo of an elk with it.
