I had a Great Uncle who owned a sporterized 1894 Swede. I think that carbine is what made me a gun nut. It had an aperture rear sight, full Mannlicher stock in a beautiful Birdseye maple, a hooded front gold bead, a really interesting perforated muzzle cap that must have acted like a brake, and a butterknife bolt handle. I wanted that thing since I was about six years old. When he passed, my cousin got the rifle, and when I had finally gotten out into the workforce and acquired enough spending cash, I was going to buy it from him, no matter the cost.
It was stolen in a burglary before I could.
So if I EVER come across a bubba'd '94, I intend to buy it and make as close a replica of that carbine as I can, no matter the cost.
