Back when I first got interested in guns I was in the sporting department of the local Sears Roebuck store and couldnt decide between the 94 sweed and the enfield jungle carbine. They were two days of my salary then. I took the sweed for $25 and learned how to remove berdan primers with my tong tool. That was one of the most accurate military rifles I have ever owned. Also the noisiest. Wish I had it back. I Have a pristine 96 I will turn into a carbine some day. Some where out there is an Arisaka 99 I made into a carbine confusing some collector. Wish i had that back also. The 94s are now priced beyond my means. Besides I have discovered Samuri swords. They are starting to facinate me.
