My experience was quality had been down for several years
Agreed, I had been looking for a stainless 1894 in .44 Mag for several years. I passed on three in a row at Bachman Pawn in Dallas. Two had such poor wood to metal fit that I didn't expect the stock would last long before it split. #3 had an extremely rough action and the sights weren't exactly at 12 o'clock. All this was well before Remington came into the picture.
I finally picked up a used one that was good to go, made in 2007.
