I sold my 94 32 Special made in 1955 in this last year here on 24hourcampfire. I had it for sale for quite a while. It was in excellent condition. I regretted it soon afterwards. I think I sold in the $750 range, not sure. But $999 sounds about right of one in excellent condition.

The 32 Special has slightly more power than the 30-30. I mostly shot cast bullets in mine. Jacketed bullets are easier to come by in the 30-30.

I prefer classic.
