Hey all,
Hope everyone's feeling good.
I've got an offer to trade for a winchester 94 carbine in 30-30. This one was made in 1971 according to the owner and it appears to be basically unfired. It did however spend 8 years in a storage locker and has surface rust - light patchy dusty type that looks like it'll rub right off, action cycles super smooth and bore looks like a mirror. Overall looks like a good shooter.
I asked the guy what he wanted and he said "something I can afford to shoot". Well then...
I don't have much in willing to part with but I told him I have a winchester model 250 in 22lr that I believe was made in the late 60s or early 70s. It's the red headed stepchild of the brand, it's got plastic sights and is not super nice. I got it in trade for 100 rounds of 45 auto about 10 years ago. It's got a ruger air rifle scope on it and is actually very accurate . the guy seemed very interested and said he'd do it if it is as I say.
Seems like a no brainer , right? Just curious if anyone would turn this down for some reason i can't think of.
Thanks
