The pre-64 M94's were very smooth and totally made from drop forged and machined parts. Post-64 had a few stamped parts and generally lower quality (although still OK) New production angle-eject are much better but still not quite up to the pre-64 standards. My personal preference is for the Marlin M336 which is better for scope mounting, and a wee bit smoother. The reality is that they are all perfectly acceptable and no animal will be able to tell the difference!
