The information provided in the "quoted" original answer is not accurate.
The Model 55 was introduced in June of 1924, but it was not a replacement for the Model 94 "rifle" variation. Winchester continued production of the Model 94 Rifle variations through December of 1937. The Model 55 was replaced by the Model 64 in January of 1933, and in December of 1938, the Model 64 also replaced the Model 94 "rifle" variations.
Winchester manufactured approximately 20,580 Model 55 rifles, in three standard calibers, 25-35 WCF, 30 WCF, and 32 WS, (with two additional calibers that could be special ordered). From June of 1924 through March of 1928 they were serialized within their own number sequence (1 - 12,002), then in March of 1928 they were merged in with the Model 94 serial numbers. From June 1924 through December 1930, all Model 55 rifles were Take Downs. In January of 1931, a Solid Frame version was introduced. In March of 1931, the Take Down was discontinued. The standard butt plate was a serrated steel (horizontal grooves) shotgun style plate.
"The Model 55 replaced all the variations of the Model 94 rifle with one rifle; it had a 24 inch round barrel, shotgun type buttstock with a checkered steel plate and sight change. Made @ 1924-1936."
