I love my 94 built in the 1920's shoots lights out! It has a receiver peep and I had the trigger worked and it needed a new spring. I plan on shooting it today.
Have you looked the the Marlin model 93 sporting carbine? I like em also. Then there are these pesky savage model 99's that have a magazine for pointy bullets...........there are lots of 30/30 levers.
I have yet to get a flatband though, sounds like you are onto a good one.
