Whats the serial number? Just the first 2 numbers followed by x's.

I traced my fathers to 1928 and it still handles perfectly. Why are you selling?

it is 21xxxx i think it was made in the 50s It just sits here ive shot it a few times and it is a good rifle, i just have no real interest in it

Because of the rubber recoil pad added I'd say around $400. If it was all original it may be more like $500 - $600.

It should have a metal butt plate if it is a pre 64. At least my does which was made in 1954. I have seen them going for $800 to $1000 at gun shows and shops.

ya the owner of the rifle before me put the rubber but pad on it i figured that would take away from the value thanks for the input Is there a replacement stock a man can get for it?

Depends on how much original finish is left. I wouldn't let it go for less than $600 in any case.

the stocks look good and but the bluing on the reciever needs work and there are some scratches on it

Modifications of any type

Detract from the value - as a collectable rifle. If you're selling it as a shooter, it might add some. (94s being light rifles, they kick some.)

However, that rubber butt cannot be 'fixed' by simply replacing the stock. Yes, there are replacement original stock butt pieces which will replace the current one. However, that doesn't make it original, it makes it a 'restored' or 'refinished' rifle. You probably won't make it worth any more than it was with the rubber butt pad.

If you can show the history of the rifle, those modifications could actually enhance the value of the rifle, but not always.

Probably the best way to get an idea of the price is to check on some of the websites selling guns and find comparable pieces. One also has to adjust for locality; different guns sell for different prices across the country depending on local demand and local 'styles'.

That is a neat old rifle and still has lots of use. If nothing else, it's a nice bit of deer hunting history.
