1894 Carbine Rifle

1894 Carbine Rifle

The Uberti 1894 Carbine .30‑30 Win is a classic Winchester‑style lever‑action reproduction intended for brush/thicket hunting and nostalgic sport shooting - it pairs a carbine‑length barrel with a tubular magazine and walnut stock for traditional looks and handling.

The years 1894-1895 were pivotal for American gunmaking, ammo manufacturing and hunting. A number of innovations appeared that would revolutionize the way Americans choose the rifle and the cartridge they consider ideal for the king of US big-game, the whitetail deer. For in 1894, Winchester released their John Browning-designed Model 1894 lever
action rifle, originally chambered in two (now semi-obsolete) black-powder cartridges, the .32-40 and the .38-55. The year after, the Connecticut firm introduced America’s first sporting cartridge designed for use with smokeless powder, the .30-30.

The combination between the Winchester ‘94 and the thirty-thirty was to take the hunting community by storm. It has been estimated that more whitetail deer has been harvested with it than with any other single rifle cartridge combination in American history. And it should be no wonder. The strong, handy, light Winchester ‘94—especially in its 20” carbine
configuration—is ideal for negotiating the confined spaces of dense woods, deer blinds and stands; while the .30-30 packs enough punch for American deer and even black bear at moderate ranges, while delivering surprisingly modest recoil.

Uberti is proud to offer this carbine in its original guise—i.e., as it appeared before it was radically re-engineered in the course of the second half of the 20th century. The carbine sports a 20” barrel, underneath which a tubular magazine packs 7 rounds of the venerable .30-30 cartridge. A traditional, fully adjustable buckhorn rear sight is complemented by drilling and tapping for a tang sight and, available later in 2025 at no extra cost, tapping for a Lyman 66A receiver sight. The action is 100% traditional with top ejecting, and a classic straight walnut stock, enhanced with checkering for extra purchase, completes this winning package.
