What is the difference between a 30-30 Winchester Model 94 rifle and a Model 94 carbine?
Winchester carbines have a different shaped butt from a rifle, the shoulder or butt plate is shaped differently and is flatter. It never has a trapdoor. Having said that, rifles could be ordered with a carbine or even a shotgun buttstock. Generally speaking, the carbine will have a shorter barrel and not in a heavy profile or fully octagonal. This isn't a certain definition of carbine though as short barrels were available on special order to fit on the rifles. Rifle barrels were available down to 15 inch length, the same as the shortest carbine barrels. If the firearm has a ring attached to the body (action) it will be a carbine as this 'saddle ring' was not available on rifles. Also but more specialised, the two have different sights. Hope that helps.
