  What do you guys consider to be the most desirable of the older 94's. I really would like to have one with a crescent butt stock, but I have seen them in round,Octagon and half octagon/round barrels. Is it just personal or would one expect to pay more for a particular type of barrel. I am talking a gun you could shoot but also be in a collectable group. I've looked at most the gun sellers on line and they are all over the board on price and no particular design seems to lead in cost except those of special ordered guns and fancy grade wood.

  Total B.S.
  Unless special or with condition, over priced at a grand. 101

  I think it would have to have some special features to be worth that much.IE:very low serial number,special engraving,factory letter.special barrel/stock configuration,etc.
  You're g.fathe would have to be very famous to bring that price on a stock rifle.

  Thanks so much for your input. If something sounds to good to be true , most of the time it is. I just wonder why I was told it was worth so much, from a such a person. Thanks for keeping my thoughts in check.

  Unknown to some collectors, the U.S. Government did indeed purchase some Winchester Model 1894 carbines for issue to troops in the west for foraging. These were standard carbines, but on the receiver bridge will be marked U.S. and the ordnance dept. flameing bomb. All of these carbines that have been found are in the 850,000 serial number range, which would place the date of manufacture sometime in 1919 rather then 1905. Also, collectors sometimes run across .30-30 cartridges with full metal jacketed round nose bullets and these are believed to be for these carbines. Post a full deception of your carbine with all of it's markings and maybe we can tell if it is genuine. I agree with the other posters in that I think that the price that you were offered is on the high side. Best of luck. Scout
