   Another thing to consider- if the lever broke from a blow, like the gun fell or was dropped, etc. that's one thing. But if the lever failed due to a too-high cocking effort, that should be corrected first. The lever pivot only needs a drop of oil occasionally, and the tip of the lever that contacts the plunger tube 'sear' should get a smear of good grease on reassembly.

	I really don't know if the my 94 (carbine stamped on the barrel) is a short or longer stock. I broke it about 50 years ago.

	Not written in stone, but in this case the photo should hold: If originality isn't an issue, I'd go with the more comfortable LOP of a longer stock, regardless of what it came with.

	Great reference. And 7Shoot, one more thing to chew on. Just because a gun was made with an aluminum lever doesn't mean it won't work with a plastic one. In several cases I've interchanged plastic with aluminum and thus put old guns back in service. Both straight and curved levers. Possibilities abound!
