Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors Value of a Winchester 1894 in 32 Winchester

LGS has a solid 1894 chambered in 32 Winchester. It comes with a Lyman peep sight and the bluing on the barrel and magazine tube is solid. Serial number is 336,XXX, which puts it at 1906. It has a round barrel and a full length magazine tube. The Gunshop is asking $900. I thought the price seemed reasonable. Anybody out there have 2 cents they could throw me. I asked the shop and they said it has never been refinished. Thanks!

Looks nice! I don't think they're out of line.

I'm with TMitch. Nice rifle.

Thanks for the feedback! Being the collector value of the gun is dependent on whether it's been restored or not, does it look restored to you guys with a trained eye, or does it look original? Thanks!

To me it looks like the real McCoy and for $900 you'd best jump on it QUICK IMHO. It's got the right amount of condition on the barrel and tube to go with the loss of finish on the receiver and forearm cap, stock finish looks in line, screw heads nice, flat-top rear sight, all in all I'd vote for it being an honest '94 at a more than fair price.

Thanks yooper! Sitting on the couch enjoying it as I type. It's a peach!

Definitely original finish. Nice rifle. As a bonus after the blue wore/flaked off the action nobody polished the receiver bright. Jeez, I hate that!

$900.00 won't get you much in an original 1894. 32 special is the least desirable chambering in '94's as well, but if you want it or keep and shoot, you won't be disappointed. Both the chambering and the condition of that rifle is well worth a few hundred$ more...

Honest 1894....

Thanks shrapnel! I picked the rifle up, I thinks it's beautiful. I posted a full pic of it under my other post. I have a funny feeling this won't be my last one, either.
