What is the difference between angle and top??When did U.S.R.A.C. start making them.
Thanks PEZ.

I'm not sure when Win. started making them, but the AE ejects out the side to facilitate mounting a scope, which you can't do with the top (std.) eject. Unless of course you mount on the side. HAWKSHAW
From October of 1894 through 1982, all of the Model 1894/94s were top-eject. In 1983, the U.S. Repeating Arms Company (U.S.R.A.Co.) introduced the angle-eject (AE). To go a bit further, the hammer block safety was introduced in 1984, and the Cross bolt safety in 1992.
Hello PEZ,

Hi Bert did U.S.R.A.Co. make a top eject also in a 94??.AE'S have a cut out on the side of the reciever where the top eject don't right.
I have a Model 94 Wrangler in 32 Win with out the cut out.If that is a top eject the BluE BOOK 29th edition says that there was 7,947 made.It is a large loop with a roll=engraved recieverNIB value??The serial # puts it in the 82-83 years.The Wrangler2 was in 32 win was [disc. 1984]was that a AE only??
Thanks PEZ.
I do not claim to be an expert as it relates to the U.S.R.A.Co. made guns, but I would expect any/all 1984 production Model 94s to be angle-ejects.
Lastly, none of the U.S.R.A.Co. manufactured guns are considered collectable (yet), and as such, there is very little information available on their value (at least outside of publications like the Blue Book). Your guess is as good as mine concerning the value of a 1982-83 production Model 94.
