Hello,

In order for a Model 94 rifle to be “pre 64” it must have a serial number less than 2,700,000. The rifle you are looking at was manufactured during 1973.

I checked the DOM on this web site and it said no data on it. I checked a couple more sites and one said 1982 and another said 1973. Its probable not a pre 64.

Thank you Michael…. This information really helps me with my decision making…. I was hoping it would qualify pre 64 but I will continue my search… this will be my first purchase
