Winchester 94 help wanted

[Fox]

Tang mounted and its in pretty decent shape for an almost 120 year old firearm

30/30 I assume? Is it the original sight for the gun? You can email Winchester and they should be able to give you more info. You can get the year from their website but pictures in an email could help you with knowing the originality of the parts, which would change the value.

There is a massive range of prices for them due to all the options and the collectible nature of these rifles.

Don't let a few people bring you down on this, they are 120 years and still shooting straight for a reason, they are classic and well built rifles.

You see everyone has an opinion. People think a 1993 Toyota Tacoma that has more rust than metal is worth $7000. The same happens with firearms. Unless something is rare and in exceptional condition it is just another one. This is certainly not the place to ask such questions as you can see from the typical 'experts' (keyboard commandos) on here!

Proves the point....caution when you ask a collector..they sometimes have unrealistic value of the worth...what it's 'worth' is what someone is willing to pay for it...the market controls that.

Not the place to ask questions??? Seriously?

Well even if it's just "another one" - assuming it's in reasonable shape - an every day shooter - the lowest price for a pre-64 m94 .30-30 on CGN is 500 bucks. There are a couple that are manufactured in the 40's and 50's. The tang peep site should make it worth a couple of hundred on top of that.

What it's worth as a collectible - unless you get down into the 5 digit numbers - not too much. There are a lot of the 1xxxxx rifles out there - I have two of them. It's value would be determined more on it's condition than its age. And what Mike points out - what it's worth is what someone is willing to pay for it - and if there is someone really interested in a 100+ year old rifle that a) could still be used for a daily shooter and b) has commonly available ammo - well - that rifle could be worth quite a bit.

I think you'll have the same problem with non-internet appraisers as you have here.

There is not enough information in the post, you could say $100-$10,000, ha ha ha.

There are a few peeps out there with more than the guns they are mounted on.

I have a winchester 32 special. Are they more rare than the 30? I've never had a problem getting bullets for it. I think my dad bought it, along with a single 12 gauge from Sears in the late 30s.

CT has 32 Win Special, 170gr, it is not as easy as 30-30 to find but not rare.

Just saying you have a 32 Win Special will not narrow down at a value at all.

I to have a Model 94, Winchester .32 Special. Shells are not hard to find.

[onelessarrow]

The topic is 94 winchester. I'm just enquiring as to whether the 32 is more rare than the 30/30. Not interested in the value and said i never had a problem finding bullets. i generally hear folks talk about the 94 30/30 but not so much the 32special.

Less common by more than 10:1 I'd guess, but still not uncommon.
Seems nearly everyone I know that has more than one CF rifle has at least one .30-30. I only know of one person that has a .32.
But based on availability of ammo - there must be a few out there.

Then again there are a lot of .444's out there - but Cabelas has stopped carrying ammo for them.
