I saw an 1899 for sale for $650 yesterday in an "antique" store. Looked great except it had been reblued - a good job but they did the lever too. Still has the crescent butt, stock hasn't been sanded, looks like a decent old .30-30 shooter with a 16,xxx SN.
How overpriced do you reckon it is?

Round 26" barrel? About $200 more than I'd pay for a shooter, though I don't like 30-30's that much. That's quite early for a 30-30.

Yep, long round barrel. Just think how it would shoot those Leverevolution rounds with that long barrel though!

In that serial range the top of the barrel should be marked "SAV 30". I would put some extra $ on that.

I've seen more suspicous 25-35 1899 h's than any other.

Thanks, guys. Maybe I ought to take another look at it. The tag says the price is firm, but I really would like to shoot something with it.
