I have a 94 mdl. in 12/7x57R in the base model with the beech stock. I picked it up in an internet auction NIB for $249.00, shipped. The wood is crudely done but the metal to metal fit is done extremely well and the firing pins hit the primer dead center both barrels. The shotgun barrel has a very heavy wall thickness, and I find no reason for it being so. The shotgun pattern is good and right on center, and the 7mm shoots tight groups with the S&B 175 gr ammo. The gun is quite heavy, and the front sight ramp has a gap between the rear half of the ramp and the shotgun barrel...it just asks to be bumped and broken. I think I'll butcher it off with a die grinder...

All in all, the gun seems completely functional, if not beautiful, and it will serve just fine as my knock-about truck gun. The price was right!

I'd like to find the SXS with walnut stock in 45-70 to use as a pig gun in neighboring Kaliphornia.

This cheapy model 94 BBF shoots as well, or better than several of my snooty pre war German combo guns. Its so ugly that the game just dies laughing or from fright.
