Individual rifles will also have individual tenon dimensions, so pulling a barrel from one may not time correctly (rotational alignment when the shoulder meets the receiver) when installed on another receiver.
Thanks buddy. I have a hankering for a 94 in 38-55 (even though I have a big bore in 375 win) and the prices they're going for I can get a beat up 94 in 30-30 or 32 spl. and have it rebarreled or bored out and lined in the 38-55. I'm still looking for a 38-55 tho. I found an angle eject in 375 win but found out that the thread size and diameter in the big bores are different than the others.
