Manufactured circa 1943. This carbine was one of approximately 3,000 Model 94s issued to the Canadian Department of Defense to be used by the Pacific Coast Militia Rangers (PCMR) stationed on Canada's west coast. All of the approximately 3,000 Model 94 carbines were in the 1,300,000 serial number range. The PCMR was considered by many observers as Canada's finest militia. This carbine is equipped with the standard PCMR canvas sling which is marked with the Canadian PCMR broad arrow stamp (broad arrow inside of a "C"). The sling is attached with an added barrel band and sling swivel on the forearm and a sling swivel on the stock. The lower left of the receiver and the left side of the stock are also marked with the broad arrow. The left rear of the barrel is marked with the standard address, trademark, model and caliber marking with the Winchester oval proof on top of the barrel and receiver at the breech. The upper tang is marked with the three-line maker/trademark/Made in U.S.A. marking, and the serial number is on the underside of the receiver. Standard hooded ramped blade front sight and adjustable rear buckhorn sight. Blue finish and mounted with a smooth walnut forearm and straight grip stock with a serrated steel buttplate. The carbine is accompanied by a PCMR badge and copies of two articles from the "The Winchester Collector" about the PCMR.
Very fine. The carbine retains 85% plus original blue finish with some muzzle and edge wear and some minor scratches on the receiver. There is some minor spotting on the lever. The wood is fine with a couple very shallow gouge and scattered scratches. The markings are crisp and clear. The action is excellent.
