Winchester 94 50's vintage. What's it worth you think? I've seen other posts, but this one is still in original shape.

[Bloza]

My oldest brother used to have a collection of Winchesters. (about 20 I think) Not collector's items, just guns he could actually shoot. So he gave me a Model 94 30-30 years ago. Mid-50's
I believe. Nothing done to it at all. I've taken it out shooting and feels just like an old Winchester. I'm thinking of selling off a few of my older firearms, and trying to get an idea what this regular
old classic might be worth on the "open market". Any ideas or information are welcomed in advance.

Speaking right out of my "backside". I'd say any decent, non abused 50's vintage 94 should be worth $800-1000.
Less for a beater, more for a really nice one.

look it up on GunBroker, see what they are selling for. not what everybody is asking. look at the guns that have bids. the market is soft now so might want to wait for better economy.

check serial number, go to Winchester collectors website look up serial # when it was made means a lot.

Nothing is perfect, but this will get you very close on production dates by serial number.

This is where I would be on the , as yet , unseen rifle.

Unfortunately. My guess is if you post this for sale locally , you'll just get trade offers. And about a dozen attempts to buy it for $700/750. At least for the first 18 months it's in the classifieds.

Was a 1960 model 94 on our local board that just sold for 850. Nice shape

Do you have a collection, small/large, of firearms already? Hand guns/long guns? Make sure you really want to get rid of that fine Winchester, and won't regret it down the line.
I started my gun buying with several old rifles my dad had picked up when he got out of the service in 1947. They were old 1800s beaters from surplus barrels. And there were several guns that were functional too, that I still have. I sold the beaters to buy modern guns. Back then I never thought I would get into long guns. Got to walk too far to change targets. I DID get into older long guns. And loaded ammo for them. We have three lever guns. Modern Winchester .38/.357, the wife's Rossi .45 Colt, and my pride and joy, a Winchester 94 in .30-30. I pinned the date the best I could, without paying for the letter from Winchester, to sometime in Dec 1941-Jan 1942.
I can't ever see myself letting go of any of these.

Something to consider with selling off older firearms :
They don't make like that anymore....
They are also not as commonly seen any longer....
Prices of older firearms are not as inexpensive as they once were....
With all the BS firearm laws , requirements and the like...it is difficult to sell or buy a firearm.

Yes all of the above is subjective and very much a general statement.
However...
If it were my Winchester , I'd keep it.

1 post and already a supporting member. BRAVO, and welcome!
That makes me think you'll be back to actually look at the replies to your thread. Any firearm gifted by a family member is an irreplaceable treasure, in my book.
Years ago, I picked up a well used model 94 in 32spcl. Times got tough and a friend REALLY wanted that rifle, so I sold it to him.
I believe that you'll regret parting with that Winchester, someday. Then you won't be able to replace it, not really.

I would keep it too.
as I said in earlier post. now is not a good time to sell.

guns like yours are going for $600-$700. on GunBroker.
