Winchester 94 in 32-40 value?
- Thread starter pygmalion2020
- Start date
That rifle, while it is in VG condition is not original, the forend is a custom job, looks almost Browning
Barrel looks reblued, but hard to tell from pictures
Butt pad is not correct.
I will let the Win. collectors pipe up, I am thinking 450.oo-500.oo . the tang sight is nice.

Your barrel is very late 1920s to 1940s.
Look for a circle P proof marking on the top of the barrel near the breech.
Looking at the sling swivel base on the butt stock and the fact that the forend and butt don't match I would suspect that someone built their perfect target / hunting rifle.
How long is the barrel? What is the front sight base?

With Winchester pricing being what it is these days, it would probably fetch 6-700 bucks ( the tang sight would probably bring over 100), but it's not in original condition in any way. It's been rebarreled, restocked, who knows what length the mag tube was originally. Interesting rifle, but somebody's custom project.
The action dates to 1904 according to this website:

As has been said, older receiver rebarrelled with customized wood. Absolutely zero collector value but would make a decent hunter/shooter. Value is pretty subjective for those uses. Someone who likes the style might give you 7 or 800 or any amount below that if they plan on replacing the wood to original style.

It's been reblued, that kills any collector value. Probably $6-800 depending on bore and mechanical condition.
Pull the fore wood off.
Remove the mag tube.
Under the bawrill jest in frunt of the receiver should be a flat spawt.
It should be marked with the year and maybe the gunsmith's enitials iff'in Winchester did the bawrill swap.
Nice werk dunnawner regardless of collector value oar nawt.

Whoever did the tinkerin' on that rifle put a rare barrel on 'er fer sure. Very few nickel steel .32-40, carbine length 20" tubes were factory fitted. Easy way to tell on that is there will be either an I.N.S (Illingsworth Niickel Steel) or a M.N.S (Midvale Nickel Steel) stamp on the bottom flat of the tube. The mild steel BP barrels were marked with a letter within a square.
I'd put a value of around $800.oo on that unit if the chamber, bore and crown of the barrel is in A1 condition along with a proper, tight action.

That is a little stupid. Tang sight alone is worth $150 minimum.
