Winchester 94

lisa_jeffery35@yahoo.com
Hello Bert,
I recently obtained a Winchester model 94 carbine,serial number 1762061,caliber stamp .30-30 Win., serrated hammer, flat checkered steel butt plate, short fore end wood, not tapped for receiver sight, blank upper tang. I'm hoping this Winchester is from 1951 also my birth year, am I close? Thanks, Greg LaHaie

    I have the chance to buy a Winchester 94 like new in box from my brother. He said he has fired about 8 rounds through it. It's got the cross bolt safety and is .45 LC. I think it's a trapper because it's short. He said he would take $350 for it. How much is it worth now and how much will it be worth now that they wont make them anymore?

    Hi welcome to the forum. Suggest you look for a close match on the for sale side of the forum. Would need pictures to give a fair estimate here.

    I believe that is a pre 64 since it is under 2700000 serial number .Assuming it has not been re done Id say 800-$1000 in that condition ? Bert ?

    Hello Lisa,

    Welcome to the forums here on Gunbroker.

    There is a topic near the top of the experts column that says Winchester 1894 facts. The date/Vs. serial number in there says your rifle was made in 1954.

    I tried to tidy up your pictures, we will see if it worked.

    Your rifle appears to be in dandy shape, and should fetch well above $500.00 if you post it on the auction side of here. If you take it to a gunshop or dealer, they will try to give you a screwing, and offer $250.00-300.00. It should land you in the near $700.00-800.00 range.

    Best

    Hello Lisa,

    There are three different value numbers associated with your 1954 vintage Sporting Carbine;

    (1) If you sell it to a dealer (at a gunshow), you can expect to get offers for it between $300 to $500. They want to buy it cheap, and then sell it high to maximize their pesonal profit margin.

    (2) If you take it to your local gunshop and sell it or put it on consignment, you can expect to get $600 to $750 (depending upon the individual gunshop). The smaller shops with slow sales will be on the lower end of the scale, whereas high-end shops (like Cabelas) will pay more for it.

    (3) If you sell it directly to a collector, you can expect to get $800 to $900 for it, which is the full retail value.

    If your goal is to sell it quickly, option (1) is your best bet. If you have time and are willing to spend some time shopping it around, option (2) is the better choice. If you have lots of time, and are in no hurry, list it on the auction side of Gunbroker with an opening bid of $800, no reserve, and the maximum length auction time. If it does not get any bids, relist it. Eventually a collector will come along that wants it for his collection.

    Lisa, why do you want to sell it ? that is a gem that you should keep, unless you are in desperate need of money, if that is the case, do not accept anything less than $700.00 but hold off for the $850.00 or better.
