A seller on GunBroker.com is currently selling a Winchester Model 94 Ranger with a 16" barrel in .45 LC. He says "it says it on the box". Was this model/caliber/barrel length ever made. Sounds suspicious !

What are the differences between a Ranger and a trapper? Is it just the barrel length?[:o)]
RE: ( 05-06 Winchester Catalog) The Trapper is 34 1/4" overall length, 16" barrel, walnut stock and available in 30-30,.357, 44 Rem Mag, and .45 Colt. The Ranger is 38 1/8" overall, 20" barrel, hardwood stock, and only available in 30-30 caliber. This is according to the catalog...a significant difference. Maybe an older model Ranger was the same as the Trapper ? I don't know. But want to be sure of what I'm buying.

This auction does not mention Ranger anywhere in the ad???

I always thought the ranger was hardwood stocked and the trappers and regular 94's were walnut stocked. The rangers are what WalMart usually sells, they are a lower cost 94 because of the cheaper stock.

It's the hardwood stock, barrel lenght, and caliber thats different. I wrote the seller and he told me it was the Ranger model, which is the reason I questioned the specs. I'm just a novice at this and wanted to be sure. And I still don't know whether it's a 16" barrel Trapper or a 20", 30-30 Ranger ? At this point I think my gut feeling is to move on to another seller where things are more "clear". Thanks for your help.
