Winchester introduced the Model 1894 in October 1894, initially as a Sporting Rifle with various barrel configurations. Shortly after, the Saddle Ring Carbine (SRC) was introduced, featuring a 20-inch round barrel and a saddle ring on the receiver. Saddle rings were standard on carbines from 1894 to 1932, but could be omitted as a special order option, such as this example!

Chambered in .38-55 WCF, one of the original calibers introduced with the Model 1894, this rifle holds a special historical significance. The .38-55 Winchester Center Fire cartridge, originally developed as a black powder round, was well known for its accuracy, moderate recoil, and effectiveness on medium to large game, making it a favored choice among hunters in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This particular Model 1894 Carbine represents a continuation of the legacy of the "Eastern" Carbine, a term coined by collectors to describe Winchester’s carbines produced without the traditional saddle ring—a feature that was once standard on all carbines but was gradually phased out between 1928 and 1932. Though Winchester never officially referred to them as "Eastern" Carbines, they were produced in large numbers for the eastern U.S. market, where the saddle ring was less necessary. As one of the most successful and enduring lever-action rifles ever produced, the Winchester Model 1894 remains an integral part of firearms history, and this .38-55 WCF variant continues to embody the craftsmanship and performance that defined the golden age of lever-action rifles.
