The '94 is not the action the '92 is, the '92 is a baby 1886,- m71.
It was designed for the short rifle cartridges, .25-20, .32-20, .38-40 and .44-40. It is very smooth and has a good lockup.
The '94 was an attempt by Winchester to have a medium length lever action without having to pay Browning for a design.
Many were rebarreled to .44mag. in the '60's and '70's before collecmania put used firearms to silly prices.
If you can find a Browning '92, at a decent price, go for it.
I have looked at the Brazil knockoffs, the ones from 10 years or so ago are pretty crude, the latest models are better, not up to Winchester or Browning, but better.
