Description
Few rifles have earned their keep the way the Model 1894 has. John Browning designed it as the first sporting rifle built around the high velocity smokeless powder cartridges that were brand new at the time, and once it got paired with the 30-30 Winchester it became one of the most trusted deer rifle combinations ever put together. Taylors & Company brings that classic back with this Uberti-made carbine, and the fit and finish is exactly what you would hope for from an Italian reproduction house that has been doing this for decades.
What Sets This 1894 Carbine Apart
The details are where this one shines. The forged steel frame wears a color case hardened finish that gives every rifle its own one-of-a-kind swirl of blues and browns, set against a 20 inch blued round barrel. The walnut buttstock and forend are cut in the traditional carbine profile and finished with checkering, a step up from the plain wood you see on a lot of lever guns in this class. A dovetailed buckhorn rear sight and blade front keep the sighting setup period correct, and the 1:18 twist barrel is right at home with standard 150 and 170 grain 30-30 loads.
A 30-30 Lever Gun Built for Real Use
The tube magazine holds 10 rounds, giving you 10+1 on tap, and the whole rifle comes in at a handy 37.5 inches overall. That short, quick-pointing package is why carbines like this have lived behind truck seats and in deer stands for well over a century. The 30-30 Winchester remains one of the most proven whitetail cartridges in the woods, easy on the shoulder and easy to find on store shelves.
Why the Taylors 1894 Belongs in Your Safe
Whether you want a woods rifle that will genuinely hunt, a lever gun for casual range days, or a faithful piece of firearms history with the craftsmanship to match, this carbine covers all three. It is the kind of rifle you end up handing down rather than trading in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who makes the Taylors & Company 1894 Carbine?
This rifle is manufactured by Uberti in Italy and imported by Taylors & Company. Uberti has built its reputation on faithful, well-finished reproductions of classic American firearms, and the 1894 Carbine follows that same tradition with a forged steel frame and genuine walnut furniture.
How does this 1894 Carbine differ from the standard blued version?
This model, part number 550298, wears a color case hardened frame and checkered walnut on both the buttstock and forend. The standard version has a plain blued frame and uncheckered wood. The case hardening gives each rifle a unique marbled pattern, so no two look exactly alike.
Is the 30-30 Winchester still a good deer cartridge?
Absolutely. The 30-30 has taken more whitetail than nearly any cartridge in American history, and it remains a top pick inside 200 yards where most deer are shot anyway. Recoil is mild, ammo is widely available, and the 1:18 twist in this barrel handles common 150 and 170 grain loads well.
What kind of sights come on the Taylors 1894 Carbine 30-30?
It ships with a traditional buckhorn rear sight and a blade front, both mounted in dovetails. That setup keeps the rifle true to the original design and works well for woods hunting and range shooting. Since the sights are dovetailed, they can be drifted for windage adjustments.
