Here's mine and one picture of what it looked like when I got it. Bought it cheap. Needed a major clean up job. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/PrcTtrc2/M-94-Rust-top-side.jpg) Tore it completely apart end to end, and top to bottom. Went over every piece externally and internally cleaning, polishing where needed, both wood an metal. Cleaned up like a new one. Picture of the receiver parts after they were cleaned up. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/zD7f1N8c/M94-Cleaned-up-Receiver-parts.jpg) End result. I'm not real up on M94's but it's a newer angle eject. Kinda proud of it just because of the shape I bought it back from. Shoots well, action works slick and cycles as it should, and handles very well. Weighs 5 lbs 13 oz as it sits. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/BnWkY8R9/M94-4.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/ZqHQ5wn4/M94-2.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/tg4KPKLY/M94-7.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/zGnM9z1L/M94-8.jpg) Edit to add: Forgot to put a picture of the left side, it's old enough yet to be a New Haven CT rifle. Beyond that don't know much about it. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/0yPR5MnG/M94-5.jpg) I think the angle eject 94's were the best looking 94's

I think the angle eject 94's were the best looking 94's It wont have a scope on it while I have it so the angle eject isn't really necessary, but yeah it's a decent looking little 94 IMO. Cleaned up nice. It was a mess but I got it in time and is why I got it dirt cheap. If I get to using it I will probably mount a Skinner peep, and get a sight blank for the rear sight. Here's a pic of some of the ammo that was in the stock ammo holder that was on it to give you an idea of what I was dealing with on the rifle. I almost couldn't get them out, they were galded fast. The wood had a haze on it that wouldn't wipe off. Needed deep cleaning, then waxed. Metal and wood probably look better now than when new. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/6515yh7V/M94-sling-bullets.jpg)

For me the necessity of Angle Eject is that it made for a better looking rifle.

You did a great job bringing back that AE. Beautiful rifle!

The one I like the most is a waffle top Marlin.
I prefer classic.

I agree Moosemike. I know most prefer a pre ‘64, but ever since I received one as a kid for a Christmas present, I’ve always loved those early AE’s.

I do love the '94 and have more than a couple. Nice job resurrecting that abused '94! Thank you. That was a 3 rifle buy and still have all 3. Each one needed tore down and gone over in the same manner, and they all 3 came back looking and functioning like a new one. One of the better buys I ever made. Cheap to start, rifles came with 10 boxes of ammo and scopes. Sold the ammo. Sold the one Nikon, kept the other Nikon. Into the 3 rifles for absolute peanuts, but were I to even find a gunsmith willing to be as thorough and meticulous as I was to do what needed done on all 3 and get them where they are, it would've cost me pretty good money.

Well done Shadetree, I like 94's as well newer or older and them in-between..that little AE is nice as is or would be the tits with a 2.5-3× on it. Sometimes a scope can sort out what's between you and the game..mb

A JM Marlin 336 XLR (and Shoot LeverEvolution ammo) Flat shooting to 200 Yards with that combo. Hornady & Marlin partnered to bring out that combo in 2006ish the barel length, rate of twist etc is tuned to that ammo. to make the lever gun a longer range shooter. Shoots regular 30/30 just fine too. Its built for the out door, XLR stands for extreme conditions / Long Range It’s a real tack driver .... Read up on them. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/DSRfYHhc/IMG-0114.jpg)
