The Cimarron Model 1894

Only $1,110.33...…. :roll:

IDK if it has a rebounder, but I don't see an extra safety (tang or cross bolt).

Hmmmm, by the looks of the hammer position it doesn't look like a rebounder. Wish I had the wherewithal to find out :D

I remember seeing an upclose video of one being shown at SHOT SHOW and it definitely did not appear to have a rebounding hammer. While I applaud their effort to re-create the 1894 Carbine (is this supposed to be a SRC?), they should at least get the front barrel band in the correct location (a little more forward) and add a ladder rear sight. The buttplate looks great.

I'd prefer one in rifle form, with shotgun butt, 32-40.

Yup.........they killed it right there.

I just don't see paying that much for a knock off 94 when there are still plenty real ones out there at much better prices. Esp 30-30 carbines.

"IF" it is patterned after the pre-64 internally then I can sorta see the MSRP. There arn't many really nice examples of pre-64s out there for shooters. They are either worn junk, pristine collectables or somethings wrong with it.
My mint 1950 carbine is an example. When I bought it the were no signs of use what so ever, still new gun tight, but it splits case necks like crazy. It has a defective chamber and will have to be rebarreled.

Had I the cash I'd search for a good original first, but I'd be willing to give one of these a chance.

You mean with forged parts rather than stamped and other quality parts?

I could have a better time with the price if they were done to real Pre-64 specs for sure.

In defense of Cimarron Arms , maybe an E-mail or phone call is in order. I am not as experienced as most of the members here but Cimarron has tried to keep the guns of the old west alive for quite some time . I would think We need All of the Help We can get. and I don't want Winchester to come back unless We can raise the Dead......the last model 94 I bought made in the USA by USRAC was a total .cow chip. :twisted: . https://www.americanrifleman.org/articl ... -westerns/

I noticed that too...ditto the Miroku 94 SRCs...why go to all the trouble to make it just 85% correct?Someone else posed the question, to paraphrase, why get one of these when the "real" Pre 64s abound? Answer: these are not "just" to (mostly) Pre 64 spec but apparently are (again mostly) Pre War carbines, an iconic subset that hasn't been made in the suggested configuration (appx 1894-early 1930s SRC), especially without the lawyerly stuff, since "then."....These aren't nearly as plentiful, certainly <$1500 in good cosmetic and shooting condition--with presumably the latest metallurgy---or without beating up a current and future heirloom. And, I would add Cimarron should have the front barrelband, a lot further forward (and placed just ahead of the front sight) They've got it all backwards, the band basically back where standard Pre and Post 64s are (and late Pre Wars).

I would get one if they did one in .38-55. No chance of getting a Winchester in that chambering round here. I would be interested in a rifle version too.
