I had heard of flat band 94 Winchesters, but I hadn't seen one before. A friend brought this 1949 carbine over for TLC. The front sight is wrong, obviously. I shot a decent 4 shot group offhand at 40 yards with Federal ? grain factory loads, but they were 4" low. My 1952 94 has milled bands. The '49 model is marked .30 WCF; my '52 is (was) marked 30-30 Winchester.

Very cool old Winchester. Floyd is looking good...……………...curdog
Nice, very nice. Haven't seen very many of them. Looks to be in good shape for a '49 birthdate. Like the antique trunk also. Bet if you lifted the lid the pirate treasure would just pour out!
My friends dad( or his friend - not clear on who) put varnish on the stocks without removing them. I've already changed the front sight back to proper. DG- the only treasure in there is home made jellies and quilts, dang it. Thanks curdog! Floyd pulled a muscle playing fetch with hisself but he's better now.

I’ve got a 1948/49 model 94 that’s a 30 WCF. It’s the long wood fore end but not a flat band. It likes 15 gr of 2400 and the 311041.

Guess which one was the most fun to shoot? They named the 50 AE well- my hand was going "Ayee" after one magazine.....
The 94 was fond of my CB loads- probably the only ones ever thru it.

Having shot the Supermags, the BFR 454 and 475... I can understand that. But what a ride !!

"An impressive piece of heavy machinery" is the nicest thing I can say about the DE! For about the same weight, I'd rather have the 94 in my hands any day.
