The Model 94 has always been one of my favorites! The only reason I walk past the 94 shelf on most gun store visits is that "Bubba" seems to have owned a majority of the finest remaining 94s on the market.
The M94 was never intended to sport a muzzle break,
a recoil reducer in the stock,
or be drilled and tapped for a 12-42 Nightforce scope.
It never should have the magazine tube drilled and tapped for a picatinny rail so it can have a bi-pod,
and for the love of Pete, stop bending the lever to imitate a "pistol grip".
Oh, man, how to forget the one that had the barrel drilled and tapped for n EER scope way up front?!
The model 1984 is made to be shot as is, humble little hunter that it is. Iron sights work great, and it doesn't much have the power or trajectory to reach (reasonable) beyond about 200 yards any how. I hope, some day and with the help of a team of psychologists, to get beyond the night-terrors at having seen so many "Bubba'ed-up" model 1984s. I will simply say thank-goodness I have never yet seen a model 1984 will "night sights". That would be my humanly end.
This is my latest acquisition in M1894 (1951, Model 94, 32 Win Spec):
