Middle one looks like a post 64 "trapper". 
  

Yep, betting that's the 45 Colt. That's one post '64 that seems to be getting traction among some collectors. I got decent money for a Trapper awhile back when I sold off most of my post-64's. I like the wood on the one above it.

Yes they seem quite pricey now.  I bought one for my son a couple years ago in 44 mag and wasn't cheap!

The Model 94 Sporting Rifle was officially discontinued as of the January 1938 Catalog.  The last actual "Rifle " that I have verified is serial number 1663507 (assembled in 1952).  Production was nearly non-existant as of 1933 (coincident with the introduction of the Model 64).

And don't forget about my favorite of the 94 family, the Model 55, produced from 1924 to 1932 and only rifles. From the top, Model 1894 in 32-40 , Model 55 in 30wcf and Model 64 in 219Zipper.

Thanks for sharing photos of your outstanding rifles, Burt.

I was trying to make the first number "82" but "22" certainly makes more sense as a barrel date!

I thought 32.  But you can barely see the same odd line on the rear 2 just lighter. 

Mike

22 is the barrel date,

1906 is the caliber (.30-06),

the letter is an inspectors mark,

the "I" in a triangle is the "General Inspection" passing mark,

the "VP" is "Violent Proof" which is the type of proof it passed,

the M.N.S. means "Midvale Nickel Steel" which is the supplier and type of steel,

the last mark I cannot see clearly.

Best Regards,

This is why we can't have eye candy competitions around here. Burt would win every one of them!
