"Just as Marlin with the release of their 336 model in 1948 took Winchester to the next level".
The previous model Marlin, the 36 was just a 336 with a square bolt, probably not strong enough to become the 444. What level did this take the M94 to? Post 64 94's had cast receivers washed with a thin layer of metal that would take bluing, not so great.
I will agree that USRA Winchesters were well made, 94's had forged receivers. Lots of variations too.
