[QUOTE="flatwins, post: 1736050, member: 5655"] Just more info here for milsurp junkies. When the M94s were imported into the US, the law at the time was that all rifles had to have an 18" or longer barrel. Since the M94 has a 17.7" barrel, an extension was attached to make them legal for importation. The extension was added in various methods with various amounts (or lack) of skill. Many were counterbored and if the barrel extension is removed, it leaves an ugly muzzle. We all know a few people with an ugly muzzle. :wink2: As far as US collectors are concerned the extension does not effect the value of the carbine. But I'm a bit of a purist and would rather have it removed if it could be done cleanly. Anyhow, mine appears to be welded on and then turned down on a lathe. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i655.photobucket.com_albums_uu277_flatwins_Shooting_Swedes_photo10.jpg[/IMG] Though I have proper measuring tools, I performed a very precise measurement using a bent paperclip and I don't think this barrel is counterbored. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i655.photobucket.com_albums_uu277_flatwins_Shooting_Swedes_photo9.jpg[/IMG] This should allow it to be removed and either leave a small bit of the extension just past the muzzle or go ahead and recrown the muzzle. We'll just have to see one we get it turned down that far. [/QUOTE]
