Description
Few rifles have earned their reputation the way the Model 1894 has. Browning's design hit the scene in 1894, and a year later it became the platform that introduced the .30-30 Winchester to the world. Historians have called it the ultimate lever action, and after more than a century of deer camps and saddle scabbards, it is hard to argue. Cimarron's 1894 Short Carbine recreates that original formula with the fit and finish the company is known for across its Old West replica lineup.
What the 1894 Short Carbine Gets Right
The 20 inch round blued barrel keeps the rifle quick to shoulder and easy to carry all day, with an overall length around 37.5 inches and a weight in the mid 7 pound range. The full length magazine tube holds seven rounds of .30-30, plus one in the chamber, which is more on tap than most modern lever guns in this caliber. Sights are traditional dovetail mounted, with a ladder style rear that lets you dial in for longer shots the old fashioned way. The walnut stock and forend are shaped in the classic carbine profile, and the deep blued steel gives it that timeless look that never goes out of style.
A .30-30 Carbine Built for Real Use
This is not a safe queen. The .30-30 Winchester remains one of the most proven deer cartridges in North America, with ammo on the shelf at just about any shop that sells hunting supplies. Recoil is manageable, follow up shots are fast, and the balance of a short barreled 1894 makes it a favorite for still hunting timber or working brushy country. Whether you are after your first lever gun or adding a faithful 1894 to a growing collection, Cimarron's Short Carbine delivers the genuine article without the collector price of an original.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many rounds does the Cimarron 1894 Short Carbine hold?
This model carries seven rounds of .30-30 Winchester in its full length tube magazine, plus one in the chamber for a total of 7+1. That is a generous count for a 20 inch lever gun in this caliber, and it loads through the traditional side gate just like the originals.
Is the Cimarron 1894 a faithful reproduction of the original Winchester design?
It is built to recreate John Browning's 1894 pattern, the design that introduced the .30-30 cartridge back in 1895 and became one of the most successful hunting rifles ever made. Cimarron specializes in period correct replicas, and this carbine keeps the classic lines, walnut furniture, and traditional sight setup of the original.
Is the 1894 Short Carbine a good deer rifle?
Absolutely. The .30-30 Winchester has taken more deer than just about any cartridge in American history, and it is well suited for shots inside 200 yards. The 20 inch barrel and roughly 37.5 inch overall length make this carbine quick handling in thick timber and easy to carry on long hunts.
What kind of sights come on this Cimarron 1894?
It wears a dovetail mounted front sight paired with a dovetail ladder style rear. The ladder rear folds flat for normal use and flips up when you want elevation adjustment for longer distances. Both sights sit in dovetails, so drifting for windage or swapping to aftermarket options is straightforward.
