Sorry 1895 take down is in 30 40

Well, I count at least 4 different rifles there. The 71 & '95 plus what looks like an M64A and a M94. Hard to put a value on them without them in hand to determine if it's original finish etc. They all look to have been modified somewhat by the pictures, but again, hard to tell and with old Winchester original condition is much of it's value.

Exactamundo...

I would get that tape off of there. It will either pull the finish off or leave a sticky mess when it is pulled off if it is left there very long. If it leaves a sticky mess, I would remove it with boiled linseed oil or some other stock oil. A gun sock would be much better to protect the rifles.

Hard to tell about the 71 but the 1895 is not original. There were no second model 95's made with a pistol grip. The lever has been bent and the stock has been replaced. The lower tang has been modified to fit the pistol grip. I bet it is also reblued. I don't know what its worth but it isn't a collector.

The 71 isn't original either. There is also a model 64 mixed in with the 71 pictures: 3rd picture down from the top. The finger groove sanded into the forend will greatly reduce the value. The forend cap has a sling swivel in it (which is not original) and the butt stock has had a sling swivel screwed into it. The stock has been refinished and the bluing looks questionable. On a good day it would probably sell on gunbroker (and the likes) for about $1,000.00, maybe a bit more. It's really hard to tell if it is the same rifle, as the pictures probably don't do it justice. A full length picture of the 71 would be very helpful..
