Did Winchester ever put the Rifle style crescent buttplates on any of the early carbines?
I've seen a couple 25-35's carbines recently with the Crescent style buttplate.
Just wondering if they could have been original.
thanks
forgot to mention I'm asking about the 94 model.

Of the first 353,999 Model 1894s, 75,075 were Carbines... the calculated percentage of Carbines with a rifle butt is .008% (or 8 out of every 1000).
The chances are very good that if you saw two of them recently, at least one of the two of them was a fake.
