Shank thread size should be the same-.809X20, the expensive part will be if the sights and lettering don't line up as well as extractor and headspace.
edit= But then I went and checked a couple of my 94's and on the 'old' 94's the extractor is at 12 o'clock and on AE's it is at 2 o'clock, so you have a problem and bolts are drastically different.

Here's another question from the uninformed: With Post 64 Winchester 94 receiver is it possible to pin down the year of manufacture where they 'improved' that terrible receiver that would not accept reblueing?
It appears to me the XTR of the early 1990s was made of a really better material that readily accepted hot blue.
1966 or 67 appeared to be the worst years for ugly finish and stamped interior parts.
Barrel quality thankfully seemed to not suffer.

The post '64 receivers of the Collector Series 94's along with some standard models were made using Powdered Metal Technology. This metal be decently strong, but t'is best suited to anodizing, or hard chroming. Me 1978 XTR Big Bore .375 had a forged receiver & re-blue ain't a hassle on these. Ye be right on the barrels as
I've found them to be fine with loads they liked.
