Needing some info/help on a Stevens 94H

[DeepSouth]

I recently acquired a Stevens model 94H and it is in awful condition. It is completely covered in moderate rust and the stock is gone. It does appear to be mechanically functioning, meaning, it does breach without falling apart and when the trigger is pulled the firing pin will hurt your finger.
High tech ain't I. LOL

I want to fix it up and have a decent gun but the only stock I can find is at Numrich and it is $70, and from my description you probably know that what I have is worth, what $20? So I was wondering if there is a Savage model that will interchange? I have also not been able to find a barrel for it, but I will probably leave the original one on it, even though it has been cut to 19" Still, if you know where I might find one I would give it a look.


Anyway, I have had trouble finding info about this gun, from parts to general info like manufacture dates. If you know much about the 'history' of this model I would like the info. I would love to find the date of manufacture of this gun to. I am also wondering why these seem to be rare, I'm assuming they are because of the lack of available parts which could also be because they aren't generally worth fixing.

From the info I can gather they were inexpensive single shot firearms. Stevens produced a variety of them. No collector interest that I know of. IMO if the gun has no sentimental value I would not drop my money into it.

I found the gun in my grandfathers shop yesterday, he died about a year and a half ago, so honestly sentimental value is the only reason I would fix it up. I know what I have is more or less worthless but you know how those things go. My uncle didn't want it because it has been sawed of and he thinks it is illegal, even though it is 19"


Anyone have any more info about it?

I'd look for a stock at a gunshow, clean it up a bit and hang it on the wall.

Well, you're lucky that there were a LOT of guns that used that stock. You're not so lucky in the age, though. Originals are hard to come by and often beaten down firewood....and replacements are $70+ as you found out.

If you head back to numrich and do a search on "stevens/94/stock" you'll get a list of the various models....after that, hit gunbroker and start typing. All you can do.

Thanks for the help , I think I might have found a beat to crap stock that I might be able to restore,

Can I assume no one has any info about manufacture dates and such? I guess it doesn't really matter, I'm going to try to call Savage Monday and see if they can give me a date of manufacture.
