I have the following unfired firearms
in their original boxes in my possesions.

1. Winchester mod 94 Centennial NRA 30-30 rifle-1971
2. Winchester mod 94 Centennial 1966 Oct bbl and brass
colored receiver.
3. Colt Centennial NRa SAA .357 7 1/2 bbl (blued)in wooden case.

I'm itching to shoot 'em
Could you guys give me an approx value as is as well
as fired ?

Thanks-Ron

    The Winchester's are Post-63' guns, and the Colt is most likely a 3rd generation. Shoot them and have fun. Their value will not decrease, as they really are not selling for much more than their unimbellished counterparts.

    The Centennial 1866-1966 Winchester will drop $200-$300 once you fire it. They're around $550-$600 new in box unfired and $300-$350 fired.

    +1, keep 'em as is if you want to hold maximum value. If you want to shoot, sell 'em and buy shooters.

    Problem is ,they're not mine.
    A fellow offed himself,and his kid
    and kid's wife don't want any guns in the house.
    (My daughter's in-laws)
    They gave me about 30. I bought all but these
    4 (I'm babysitting a Medalist too).
    It's been 6 years and I'm itching to shoot
    the SAA but I guess I won't[:(]

    Any commemorative diminishes greatly in value once they've been fired. Purist collectors want them new in the box with all of the paperwork and don't even want them cocked. Once they've been fired, their value reverts to that of common models.

    I agree with cartod. What is not collectable now will be so in the future. Look at what has happened to the 1903A3 Rifles that were selling for less than $20.00 in the 1950's and see what they are bring now. They're yours, shoot them, have them nickle plated, or whatever but anything you do will reduce their value.

    The model 1894 is probably one of the most produced rifles in all of history. You could surely pick up a used one for a few hundred bucks. Look up all the variations. You can get 16" models in pistol calibers as well as 30-30, the 20" standard, and 24" long-barreled models.

    The sport of Cowboy Action Shooting has ensured that a variety of companies make copies of the Single Action Army in a variety of calibers and authentic finishes and barrel lengths.

    There's no point in screwing up valuable guns. Just pick up some new/used ones.

    I have a 1939 model 94 and it's
    a great shooter.
    The thought of shooting those firearms is
    quite strong and don't make me say it
    again cause I get butterflies,I never have shot
    a colt SAA and I gutz to shoot it.

    Well, if it's any consolation, the NRA Colt SAA in .357 isn't exactly a hot seller.
