Hi All,
Just wanted your opinion on the value of a winchester 30-30 model 94 Canadian centenial edition, heavy Octogonal barrel ?
Does not come with the original box, has shot about 20 rounds, blueing is perfect and so is the wood.
What should a guy expect to buy this for ?
Thanks
 
carbine or rifle? not that it matters alot, there were alot of these models made, i'm thinking around 500$ for either one . dad has the rifle i have the carbine.
 
Because its been shot it's not a true collector gun anymore
There were 97395 rifles and carbines made,so its not a real rare one
I would say around $500 if its mint.
 
They've sold occasionally here on the EE the last few years; prices are usually about $600 if "only fired once, looks like new". Rifles always sell for more than carbines.
 
Collector guns yes, shooter guns, meh! Made in 1967. Most likely the worst of the worst post-64s.
Shoot one enough and that sheet metal shell carrier will break, shoot it some more & the shell stop will wear out.
Then you are f@cked, because this hoopla is attached to bottom metal that is basically equal to finding a unicorn in the Canadian used gun parts market. About the only thing worth keeping is that very nice long barrel (on the rifle) with the post front sight and the full length magazine. Ask me how come I know this for a fact?? IMHO, Winchester executives should have been beaten black & blue with wooden canes for mixing these wonderful barrels with junker small parts!!!

Hi All,
Thanks for your input, especially Brutus...thanks for the specifics.
The price is OK but I'm not a collector, more of a shooter. So after what Brutus explained, I'll look for a regular 30-30 model 94.
Cheers everyone.
 
a fello gun dealer friend once told me they are hard to sell. He said if I was to take the one that I was offered to take on trade, I should be prepared to sit on it for quite some time. They are for the collectors to collect and not for shooters to shoot. New in box unfired, is your best chance to sell one. Don't expect to get big bucks.

Win, everything that has been said here is exact and Brutus is right on. But I know a few moderate shooters that shoot them and love them. A US friend cut one down to 16'' and uses it has a wood gun. So if you really like the gun and the price is great I'd say take it, (great barrel) unless of course you're a heavy shooter.
OK
Looking at your handle name tought you might enjoy this...

THIS!
One of my hunting partners has one that he uses as a spare. It hasn't been shot much, but it's still a piece of junk, quality wise.
I wouldn't pay a nickel for one.
