| I inherited a beautiful Winchester 94 30-30, it has some of the prettiest stocks I have ever seen. Although it is pretty, I simply don't have room in the safe for it, and it just isn't my speed. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good site where I might be able to move it? Tried googling but no luck, just a bunch of collector websites. Don't want to deal with that BS. It is engraved, has a long octagonal barrel, and a gold covered loading shelf. Don't know anything about these lever guns. Thanks for any assistance |
| Your route of selling should be based on the guns value. A pre-64 as you described would be best gone through a collectors auction or someplace befitting it's value. An average late model special edition, you could go just about any route. If you don't know the different 94's and values I would have it appraised to see what it's worth before doing anything. If it's a pre-64 or other valuable model you would do well to make room for it in your safe. |

Thanks for any assistance Generally speaking Winchester was not known to put all that nice of wood on most of it's rifles unless they were special ordered, even on most of their commemoratives. If it is a special ordered Pre-64, then it's worth a lot of money. If it is a post 63 commemorative model of some type then it's probably not worth all that much. Winchester went into a period where they made boat loads of commemorative models, and most of them had fairly high production numbers which meant none of them ever became all that collectible, selling for roughly the modern day equivalent of whatever they sold for originally, adjusted for inflation, holding their actual value but not really appreciating much faster than inflation. If you post a picture of it and provide a serial number (you can substitute "XX" for the last two digits, I can probably help you figure out what it is and what it might be worth. |
