Hello,
I have recently acquired this really nice model 94 in 30 W.C.F. The serial number is 1331050 and I think it is mid 1942 dated. Looks to be re-blued since there is little wear where you would expect it and the muzzle is all blue with no wear. The question is about the mark / stamp on the receiver with the inverted V and M over it. Looks like a 0 just below. Anyone have an idea what this might suggest? This mark is on both the left side and the right side of the receiver.
I do not recognize the marking on the receiver frame, but if the gun is located in the U.S., I suspected that it is an Importer’s stamp.
I have S/N 1331050 listed in my research survey as a Canadian PCMR Carbine originally issued to Company 29, Detachment #4.
It was manufactured by Winchester in late April 1942.

That’s a new one to me. Interesting to say the least. Kind of reminds me of a spider!
