I have 2 model 94's. One from 1949 and one from 1979. Both WRA New Haven production of course. Just took both of them out to have a look and can't say one is any better than the other in wood to metal fit or that either is much if any better than the one pictured above.
My Grandpa, vintage 1910, had a bunch of Winchester levers, 94s and others, bought used when he had extra and others didn't.... Preferred the pre-war stuff IIRC. I can't fathom why I didn't show more interest in them when he could have learnt me, but, he, nor dad seemed to either. We were bolt gunners. Heck, I didn't hear about the Marlin 336 or Savage 99 until I heard it here! I should just get the 336 out and shoot it, it's hella accurate, and paid for! LOL
