Conversion cost was about $250 at the time most places. Most were just FA, the parts were not available for paddle conversions like they are now.
I remember the 94's selling in gun shows for ~$450 new, and then they went up over time.
To put it in perspective, Rem 700s, Win M70's were mid 200s. I bought a Colt stainless Delta Elite for ~$450 not long after.
So it was like Split window Corvettes... Though it seems cheap now, at the time a transferable full auto 94 was relatively expensive.
So you could easily have $1k in a converted 94 with some mags, and it went up fairly quickly.
Had a co-worker who converted one, and still has it.
