I would buy it to thread it for a can, just because. I have a safe full of Winchester and Marlin thud thuddys, but I would go $250 if it is tight and right. That gun ain't hurt a bit unless bubba has been inside of it too.

That paint can be stripped and you could refinish the wood if you're looking to restore it and not worried about the value. In that condition, I would try and rescue it for no more than $300. Yes, that is high, but I'm a sucker for old lever actions. Heck, they might take $200 for it since they obviously don't care about it.

Concur with $250-ish.
I bought a 1955 "carried in the woods every deer season, rarely shot" that was in very good condition for a little more than twice that. |

Depends on if I know the seller.
That would be $250-$275 gun if it has a nice bore and is clean. |

You guys are pretty cheap.
Given the condition of the rest of the carbine and assuming the bore and action are solid, without the paint on the receiver it's still a Pre-64 Model 94 and it's potentially a $500-$600 gun once you spend a half hour stripping the paint off the receiver, assuming all the bits and pieces are original. It won't be any less collectible once the paint is removed. I'd certainly go $400 and look at it as a candidate for a restoration project, if not as a collector. |

I agree, I have seen them sell for $5-600 many times! I would jump on any old Winchester for under $350 I ran across! |

Got the rattle can paint job off. Stripped the stock and forend of whatever coating was on it. Did not sand either. Just applied a coat of tung oil. Here is where we are now.
Also, the bore is excellent as is the action. Appears to have been carried more than shot.  Attached File |

I do not agree-$400 is pretty steep for a project gun even if the bore is perfect . Paint might strip off but Bubba might have gone all crazy with sandpaper or a sandblaster before he painted also. In my neck of the woods (where Winchesters go pretty high) if the action is tight and the bore is good that is a $250 shooter at most gunshops and $175 from a friend. If that age gun was in overall good condition , yes , it could be $500+ but that ship has sailed. Got to guess the finish was pretty bad to get a paint job |

Finally took her out shooting today. Dead on target at 60yds plinking clay targets.
Here are a couple of better pics after the paint was removed and tung oil applied.  Attached File Attached File |
