i might trade my stoeger condor 12 gauge which a few years old mint cond and it looks like it has supreme wood instead of standard, to trade for a 76 win 94 30-30 with a case colored reveiver and saddle ring, but it needs a firing pin and id say its in vg to excellent cond.
 
Trade

That was a hundred dollar gun back in 1976 but if you want it and can let go of the scatter gun, then go for it. If both parties are happy, it was a good deal.
 
The nice thing about trading is that it usually only occurs if both parties to it feel like they are getting good value in return. It wouldn't be rational to trade otherwise.

A lot of time what happens though, is that one party or the other fails to do due diligence up front and determine what the the real value of the objects being traded is to them. Note - it doesn't matter what the value is to others just what the value is to the trader. So they make the trade and later feel bad about it because they realize that the value of the object they traded for has less value to them than they thought it would. Bad trade.

If you believe the value of the object you are trading for is greater than or equal to the value of the object you are trading you've made a good trade and you'll walk away satisfied. If you believe the value of the object you are trading for far exceeds the value of the object you are trading you'll walk away elated. Any other scenario should result in you not trading.

It's really that simple.

And it is all relative. For example I wouldn't trade that shotgun for that W94 even up. But it seems that there are those here that would. Not a good trade for me but it is for others. For them they'd walk away happy. For Me - no trade.

My point: If both parties walk away happy it was a good trade. Doesn't matter what others think. Only matters what the traders think.

heres my problem i already have a heirloom marlin 336 30-30. i have 4 other shotguns but this is the only one i could really use for clay shooting, the rest are 20 gauge with no rib.
 
does anyone know what model this is or how much its worth? it has the flat butt stock and NO emblem in the stock
 
Commemorative of some sort, probably the bicentennial, should say on the barrel, anyway it's a fancy shooter without a box, in VG condition is worth $400-$500. Case colored receiver is not common, how's the wood??
 
id say its vg it has some surface rust in some spots engraving on the receiver. the wood was better then the average post 64 win (very cheap looking) this one looked almost as good as a marlin stock, it doesnt have a medalion in the stock like the ones i been seeing that look pretty close to it and no curved buttstock.

the problem is this doesnt have average stoeger condor wood it has the figure of a browning or a high end gun. so if i want one again later on it wont be as nice
 
I had a rifle like the Winchester, was an Antique Model but was made in 1967.
Case hardened receiver, brass saddle ring...
I would pick it over the shotgun.

Jim brings up a very good point, the 94 action is nearly indestructible, and as reliable in that chambering as any firearm can be, I'd be concerned it has been tampered with, and a firing pin may not be its only problem.
