Question about winchester #94
« on: March 30, 2004, 10:45:31 AM »
My cousin has a Model 94 winchester thats probably around 30 - 40 years old. His basement was flooded and the stock got ruined. He just got it back from the gunsmith and the gun smith offered him 600 bucks for the rifle. The Gunsmith said it was a collectable model and that it would be worth even more if it did not have to be refinished. I grew up hunting with this rifle and don't remember anything special about it. It had no engraving done on it, it just looked like every other 94 that I've seen. Did winchester make a model in the 60's or 70's that was special?

I have one that according to the serial number was manufactured in 1935. It belonged to my step father. Is this thing worth something? I still take it out to the range occasionally and shoot it.
Hunting and fishing are not matters of life or death. They are much more important than that.
