I think what you’re up against is other rifles, mostly Winchesters, some newer and some that are 50-75 years old and still shootable being well made with quality materials and with more of a hands on industry standard and hands on workmanship. For instance you could spend a bit more (+$300- +$500) for some recent 86s, Browning 86 and 71, and many nice 33 Win takedowns. Pay about the same as your asking price for nice older shootable 30-30s and 64s, and many of the Win Big Bores in various chamberings as well as some nice older Marlins. $1.4K 14 months ago could have been doable, the market is tighter now and so is money supply. It really just depends on the person who believes they need it and what they intend to do with it. Today I would say because the 1895CB in somewhat of a niche rifle that an interested buyer could go +-$1,100.
