Thanx emt, & despite amassing guns (especially rifles) for nearly 30yrs now this was my first 94 as well. I found out it is a "Antique Carbine" edition which began in '65 or '66. Colorcase "finish" on receiver, "gold plated" loading gate & saddle ring & nice if somewhat brighter walnut stocks. Doesnt add value as they werent limited editions, but they certainly have that classic look. I'm not scoping this one but will be putting a peep rear & fiber optic front bead on it for easier aiming.

I shot the Colt & the 94 Friday, they were alot of fun. I can't put ths Colt dwn!
