Buying this as a present for a friend of mine, who doesn't need anything fancy or in super-shape. In fact would probably prefer a post-'64, as I've owned several in various chamberings and they always worked fine. He just needs/wants a basic .30-30 carbine to kill eating deer.

I have one that I'd sell, I was told it was made in 1959 when I bought it. Shoots very good for me with factory 170 grain ammo. Which is the only ammo that I have fired in it. Both Winchester and Remington.
I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

Have looked at photos of jwp's carbine, and am keeping it in mind. But would like to see others as well....

He wouldn't be interested in a Marlin 336 30-30 would he?

Hoping for at most $600. And as noted, it doesn't have to be in pristine condition, just shootable.

Already found one post-'63 listed for $495 on a used-gun website, but have never dealt with the site before, and would rather deal with Campfire members. Also know of somebody who picked another post-'63 up for $400, but he doesn't want to sell it....

I've definitely seen a softening on arms pricing. I'd still say that the price point here is more like a wholesale price that my local GS might offer on a trade-in, but that's not going to be the price off the shelf.
Dealing with fire members is another story and different than dealing with a shop owner. There might be someone here who would rather skip the hassle and turn one loose.

I'll be going to Tulsa Gun Show first weekend in November and I could look for one there. Here is one to look at: Winchester 94 30-30
