Your m94/14 is in nice shape, however, it's not very collectible. Those darn idiots at Interarmco ground the date off your receiver and stamped the "Interarmco G33/50" on there. Why? I have no idea, but your carbine went from a $800-$1000 rifle to maybe $400-$500 (by today's standards). Back when Interarmco did it, they were very cheap and plentiful, as I have been told.
Three other detractors to value:
-the stock disk is Interarmco's doing and is not an original military disk.
-you are missing the handguard and rear handguard ring.
-your front sling attachment is on the wrong side.
As for where to sell, try the various gun board WTS forums. Also try Gunbroker.
Good luck!

I just bought one like this last week. The barrel is exactly 18" with the addition to the barrel. The brass stock disc is marked I.27 over No 353. The carbine is dated 1917 and the serial number is HK 94338Mine has no wood ahead of the barrel band (cut) and no bayonet lug or sling buckle. It does still have the handguard. Numbers match on bolt, safety, mag floor plate, stock butt plate & barrel band. Any idea what the brass disc numbers indicate? What would this be worth in VG condition?

-your front sling attachment is on the wrong side.
I think the barrel band was simply put on backward.

Bubba,
The Swede carbine was a **very** desirable surplus rifle when I was a kid in the '60s. they sold for about $30 then, equivalent to maybe $400 now. This was the rifle everyone wanted to borrow in deer hunting camp.
The one you have looks like it is worth getting/making a new handguard. Is it true, the receiver was ground down? Mostly I'm against the death penalty, but for **that** ...

Still very desirable but it needs help. Try the big dealers(Sarco, Gun Parts Co.) for the correct handguard and handguard ring. When fixed up properly easily worth $450-$650. Good luck.

BUbba37, IF that is all original finish, then you have a valuable specimen.
However, if you are a collector of other types of gun, then you should be able to form your own judgement as to that. AFAICSWAHTOIMH, the butt-buttplate joint should be looked at very closely for signs of refinishing (metal standing proud of the wood, rust staining in fine streaks originating from the buttplate). And even if it has been refinished, it is still, as Gunner wrote, a very fine piece. And yes, get the Dana Jones book!

Swedish 94 carbines are wonderful guns from both a collecting standpoint and a shooters one. My favorite one came with an elm stock.
