top is a Winchester model 1894 made in 1909 going by serial #, 26" barrel, full octagon with half magazine, forend has a plain steel cap, butt plate is steel with checkering on it, the stock its self has no checkering and no pistol grip. It is chambered in 32WS. It might be an extra lightweight but would really like to hear from somebody that knows these.


second is a Winchester model 1886 in 45-90, made in 1894, 26" full octagon barrel, good wood, good bore, sights and butt plate are intact.

third is a Savage 1899 in 303 Savage made in 1905-06, 26" full octagon barrel, everything is intact, functioning and appears to be original except for possible a coat of clear coat on the stock (maybe), blueing seems to be mostly all there but can't verify that it's original, also the stock has a couple fine cracks in the tang, it is however a shooter or a wall hanger just maybe not a collectors item.

I would appreciate any info and a value on these, I want to sell them but want to be as accurate as I can in the description etc.
 
I think your 94 is a standard 26in. octagon with shotgun butt and button mag. It also has a .32 special smokeless rear sight. Hard to tell about finish but should be around $1000.
I think your 86 is pretty much a grey gun from the pictures but if the bore and wood are good that helps. Also the .45/90 is a desirable chambering. At least a $2000 gun if undicked with.
The Savage if original blue is probably worth $600 or so in my area. That is my 2 cents.
 
While the pics aren't too clear, the 2 Winchesters look to be barely above "shooter" condition and i would value them 25-50% below the above values, the above values would be for NRA "Good" condition, which I don't believe they are...clearer pics are required..IMHO
 
The 1886 has good wood, all parts are there and original, no screws are marred up, but there is little to no blueing left, bore is good and in a neat caliber, i'll get some clearer pics, i've seen parts guns sold recently for what Ben is quoting but I agree the pics are bad.

The 94 is in about the same condition but looks to have a good amount of blueing left but the butt stock has a rough texture to it in some areas, i'm not sure what caused it but it is not a coating or finnish that someone put on it, the forend is fine.

:agree:

They all look like well worn guns with very little blueing left!
94s to be anywhere near collectable need to have all the barrel blueing & some reciever, while it is a hex with 1/2 mag (maybe) which is desireable, it's not huge value in that condition.
 
1886 rifles with cut barrels or drilled receivers are selling for $1000, so I do not think my original estimate was too far off. Better pics are required but do not undervalue your guns, you can always lower a price but it is pretty hard to raise it.
 
Mike, Thats what I was basing it on also, I see guns that have been butchered or unshootable incomplete guns selling for 1000-1200$, The 1886 has been appraised by 2 people but I don't want to muddy the waters with that right now.

I'll get better pics tommorow
 
I checked out over a dozen at the Fredericton gun show a few weeks ago. All big bore 1886 rifles(no .33 Winchester) and they were all grey guns but with good wood and decent bores, not messed with, starting prices were $2500 each. One guy bought three for $5800, a pretty good deal, I think. The survival rate for 1886 rifles is not that great, they only made around 159,000 of them and the old black powder rounds command a premium. They ain't making any more of them.
