winchester 1894 value??

[3pairs12]

I have the oppurtunity to buy a 1894 in 85% condition with 26" octagon barrell. It is 30 WCF or 30-30. According to serial number it was made between 1895 and 1896. The bore looks good. What would the est value be?

I would have to guess in the $800 - to one grand neighborhood.
(But it depends on your neighborhood!)

Add 20% if it's a take-down model.

Winchester & Colt prices are crazy, and a lot of them are priced quite high, but haven't sold in several years at that price.

Notice neither one of these has exactly started a bidding war!
