Winchester musket

I was looking around the internet and ran across a Winchester 1894 WCF 30 musket. Most of the pictures I found on a win. musket have full length hand guards and a bayonet lug. Is this all that differentiates a musket from the regular 1894 mod? I will admit that I never heard of this particular weapon. I would appreciate any info on this model.

Thanks,
gene

  No 94 Muskets, listed in Blue Book. 92's & 95's, no 94's.
  
  EDIT #1, Post 1964, 1971 NRA Centennial Musket. This is a limited production commemorative. Over 20,000 made. Not a big buck item, unless new in box with all accessories and paperwork.

  Maybe it was a 1895, they made a lot of those?

  Not true. Winchester did manufacture a small number of Model 1894 Muskets. The were never officially cataloged, but they were made.

  Gene,
  
  The "Musket" variation always has a longer barrel than the "Rifle" variant, and it does have the nearly full length forestock with the steel cap. The original Winchester Model 1894 Musket that I have seen was made with a 30" barrel.
