Home Forums Lever Action Central Lever Actions - General Price check on a 94

Looking to see what this might be worth.... I love the wood and thinking of making an offer. It's way too high right now, but I may make them an offer on it but have no idea what.....


No corrosion. No blemishes in wood or metal

DOM is 1979
30-30
Winchester 94

No more than $500. Got a beauty with a bunch of accessories for a friend for $400.

Fireball nailed it.

Is $500 too much if it can be had for that? I love the looks but it would be a duplicate and only bought for the looks. I mean I'd carry it but it isn't like I NeED it.

i don't see them appreciating. at least not the common ones. thats a nice one though but i'd say $500 is retail.

It would be for me.

Agree with FB,

Any drop in condition is going to take the investment value down with it. It's not a collector for the market IMHO, and and the $500 is above what the average Joe is looking to pay for a woods gun, even in new condition at Cabelas.

If you decide to sell it later, expect $350-400 to move it, at least in my area, if you can get a buyer. Especially if you have carried or shot it at all.

While the stock is very nice, the forearm looks pretty plain. I'd take a hard look at the stock screws and see if the stock has been swapped. Wouldn't be the first MGW stock that ended up on a different 94.

At the end of the day, it's your money. If the pretty wood moves you, then have at it. I've bought similar items for the same reason.

I held off on it. Just going to save my money. Thanks for the input guys!

If you want one I have a Bill Cody Commemorative SRC for $500 plus shipping. It has a 20" octagonal barrel and some scroll work on the receiver. It's missing the ring.

I appreciate the offer but I'm going to hold off. I've got a 94 but this one just caught my eye with the wood.

You would be hard pressed to find a pre-cross-bolt safety that nice for 500.00 around here.

One can pick up a nice pre64 for $500.00 or less....

One can pick up a pre 64 for 500.00 but it will be well worn. Pre 64's in "nice" condition start at about 700.00 and go up from there. 500.00 is a good price for a mid 70's - 82 top eject WRA 94 in "like new" condition. I've seen several go for that and more on gunbroker in the past few years.

I am a sucker for pretty wood. But over 500 is too much imo.
