By the way I am jealous of your shop!
Difference between a m94 and a m96?
- Thread starter Hunter-gatherer
- Start date
i got one of those barrels and she prints small clover leafs with hand loads
With the family connection and having a gunsmith do the barrel work, with the receiver already drilled and tapped and bolt altered, what-the-heck, go for it.
It will still cost less then a wild weekend spent cooped up in a hotel room pouring drinks down a sleazy blonde. A lot less effort expended too.
You could also save yourself a bit of money by looking at the Trade-Ex selection of stocks they have for sale. There are some sporter stocks there and only a very minor difference in fitting will be involved between a 94 and 96 stock. Some of these are military stocks, which you do not want, but a 94 action will fit into a 96 stock with a small bit of work. As your action has a butter knife bolt handle, you might consider using one of these stocks, as it would give a "period - classic" look to your rifle, and you will save on shipping if you order it along with your barrel.
The 6.5x55 is a very good choice for hunting on the Island, and even on the Mainland. I have a hunting partner in the East Kootenays, and that is all he ever uses, even on Elk, Bear and Moose.
My shop----ah, yes. I retired to a small Village here in Manitoba over 10 years ago. Why would anyone retire to Manitoba, ---I bought a small house, two bedrooms, attached garage, on 1/2 acre of land in the Village, and there is lots of Deer, Waterfowl and Upland Birds in the area. The birds keep my two Labradors busy in the Fall. Best of all, it cost me $2500 dollars. Yes, the $2500 figure is correct.
My shop was built way back before WWI. It looks like one of those old western livery stables as it has the false square front on it. It was 2600 square feet, but when I bought it, I had to do some repairs on it. It served mostly as a garage, gas station, and machine shop. The original front part was before 1905, and a second part added later. About 1940 a 1100 square foot cement block section was added.
On the wall of the front part is a large neat poster, of the kind they used to glue on the smaller billboards. It says, "Coming soon, --the 1947 Buick". According to the History Book, in 1917, the business had an order to buy 500 Ford cars.
Best of all--it cost me $100 and another $60 to transfer the title. But then again, upstairs in the loft was a lot of heavy horse harness that sold for $200 to a local horse person.
Good luck on your project. Post some pictures when you complete it, along with some target photos too.

I have been looking for over 4 years and they have been out of stock, like forever!
