My 20” Model 94 (1911 manufactured) is considered a carbine for that era. Henry considers 20” a rifle, but 16.5” gets my BBSC the carbine designation, while everyone else calls a 16” barrel a “trapper”. It’s all rather subjective.

Oh, and in my mind, it’s bean.


Trapper! Now there's a word ya can't @#$% up!

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
