What is the value of a 30-30 Winchester Model 94 rifle serial 392372 with an octagonal barrel little bluing a good bore iron sights and wood in good condition?

Answer 1

It was made in 1907. As for the value, like all Winchesters (and old firearms, in general), its all in the details of its exact configuration (ie pistol grip, shotgun butt, full or 3/4 mag etc., etc., etc.,) and the details of its condition (ie bluing wear, and wood finish, etc.). And most important of all, whether it has been "messed" with (ie reblued, refinished wood, drilled and tapped for scopemount etc.) The question of value is a huge and very complicated one and you would need to have it appraised by an experienced Winchester collector/historian. This will cost you $50 to $100 and you shouldn't sell it to the guy who appraises it after he is done, under any circumstances. If he offers to buy it for his appraised value, then add 30%-50% to the value he gave you and walk!!!! Unless it is a "rust bucket" or a "basket case" (completely used-up), it has a value of between $400.00 (for parts, which could be sold on eBay including the reciever, which would have to be sold on a firearms auction site)and many, thousands of dollars.
