In 1976 I bought a Navy Arms Commemorative rifle in 44/40 caliber.It was commemorating the Indian victory at the Little Bighorn in 1876.I paid 400 or 450 dollars for it.I was 25 years old and there was no way in hell I would by a firearm and leave it in a box,{still feel that way}.I even hunted with it once,all total I fired 30 rounds through this rifle.I now want to sell it,or trade it for a 10 ga side by side.Can anyone tell me what this ornate rifle might be worth? It is 698 of 1500 made. Thankyou.

Alot less than if you had left it in the box...Thats all I know. And I'm of the same belief, guns are meant to be shot.

Yeah,I suppose the wise thing to have done was to leave in the box.But just didn't know at the time.Wouldn't have mattered anyway.

It would help to know what kind of rifle it is. Is it a Winchester 94 Commemorative or something else?


If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you can read this in English, thank a soldier.
