The Model 1894 has a fair claim to being the most beloved lever gun ever built. John Browning designed it as the first sporting rifle made for the new smokeless powder cartridges of the late 1800s, and hunters have trusted the platform ever since. Taylors & Company teamed up with Uberti to reproduce the carbine version faithfully, and the result feels right the moment you pick it up. Forged steel frame, blued round barrel, walnut carbine-style buttstock and forend, and a saddle ring on the receiver just like the originals that rode in scabbards across the West.
Most 1894 reproductions default to .30-30, so finding one in .38-55 Winchester is a treat. This is the cartridge the original Model 1894 launched with back in the day, and it remains a wonderfully pleasant round to shoot. It pushes a heavy .375 caliber bullet at moderate velocity, which translates to mild recoil, great cast bullet performance, and plenty of authority on deer and black bear at woods ranges. Handloaders and cowboy action folks love it, and single shot silhouette shooters have kept it alive for good reason.
Uberti has been building Old West reproductions in Italy for decades, and their fit and finish shows it. The 20 inch barrel keeps overall length at 37.5 inches and weight right around 7 pounds, so it carries easily and swings fast in thick cover. Sighting is handled by a dovetail blade up front and a ladder-style rear, the same setup that guided countless bucks into the freezer over the last century. The tubular magazine holds five rounds, giving you 5+1 on tap.
Some lever guns are safe queens and some are shooters. This one splits the difference nicely. It is handsome enough to display and stout enough to hunt with every fall. Whether you are into cowboy matches, classic cartridges, or just want a lever action that stands apart from the rack of .30-30s at every gun counter, this 1894 carbine delivers the goods.
The rifle is manufactured by Uberti in Italy and imported by Taylors & Company. Uberti has built its reputation on faithful Old West reproductions, and their lever guns are known for solid fit, finish, and smooth actions right out of the box.
It sure is, inside its range. The .38-55 throws a heavy .375 caliber bullet at moderate velocity, making it a proven deer and black bear round out to around 150 yards or so. Recoil is noticeably softer than a .30-30, which makes it a pleasure for extended range sessions too.
It wears a traditional dovetail blade front sight paired with a ladder-style rear sight, both mounted in dovetails. That means you can drift them for windage or swap in aftermarket options if you prefer a different sight picture, all while keeping the classic 1894 look.
Yes, the carbine version includes a saddle ring on the receiver, just like the originals that were carried in scabbards on horseback. It adds an authentic period touch and pairs nicely with the carbine-style buttstock and barrel band setup.
