The new ones are definitely nice rifles, and I certainly wouldn't slag anybody who buys them. Where I'm from, we can still buy nice pre-64's for $500-600, maybe a bit more for really nice ones. If money wasn't the problem, I would have a Miroku or two or three in a heartbeat, tang safety and all. I have five 94's now - two 1957.32WS carbines and a 1918 rifle in .32WS, a 1957 30-30 carbine, and a Canadian Centennial carbine. Had a matching set, purchased new in 1967 but the rifle was stolen.
