model 94 parts interchangability
i have a 1906 model 94 that i need parts for...i need a finger lever..a locking bolt and a few springs and pins....will parts from a newer 94 fit mine?..thanks in advance
Re: model 94 parts interchangability
When you say "newer", I'm not sure what you mean. If you stick with pre-war 94 parts, there will be no issue.
If you go to post war, some of the springs and pins will be ok, but the fitted parts like the lever and locking bolt may give fitting issues. The locking bolt may or may not change your headspace slightly also. Even from the same vintage rifle.
A post-64 example will be different in most every way.

Re: model 94 parts interchangability
YES. But, you can check with Wisner's and see if they have the parts for your year in stock. I've built 6 mdl 94s from parts. And it's a good thing there's quite a bit of interchangeability between them, otherwise I'd 6 partially assembled rifles.
The critical parts that require mating with like eras are the hammer & trigger groups. The mainspring & hammer changed with the post '64s, no more fork & stirrup. From '64 to about '74 the carrier was a stamped piece, but can be replaced easily with a late AE or an earlier pre-'64. Even tho' the pre-'64 used 2 screws to retain the carrier, and in the post '64 it used a single screw that went all the way thru the frame, it's the same dimensionally. The barrels from an Angle Eject will also need to be fitted to an early frame, (extractor groove will need to be moved to match to a Top Eject. You can use an AE frame but the right cartridge guide will either need to be an AE or modify the TE one.
