Have a chance to pic up this rifle but I'm not sure of the value.
rifling is good. Blueing is worn and definitely has dents and handling in the wood.
action is a little sloppy but does work.
Looks like the top slide might have been replaced.
Thanks for your help guys

I agree with ajcave because I think the age of the rifle (109 years) makes it worth more than the average pre-64 model 94 Winchester.

But I don't agree with what Superbrad said!
 
I am certainly no expert, but $400 to $500 seems a little low for a pre-64 Winch. of that age, as long as it is in good working order and not too beat up. The bore is good, as you say. Just my opinion.

edit update:

I came across this discussion in the US where the value was quoted at $600 to $700 U.S. for a 1910 carbine.
The carbine has less desirable gumwood stocks and the wood has been refinished, yet it still has this value.
The estimate was given by a Cody Firearms Museum volunteer with access to the serial number records.
I don't know how this relates to a Canadian valuation on your particular gun, but it still is interesting.
Your carbine is over a century old, after all.

Condition is everything to a serious collector. US prices are usually not obtainable in Canada. There are lots of people who are quick to post a high value on a rifle, but those same people wouldn't pay the price they quote. Just because it is old does not always make it expensive.

Valuing a used rifle usually requires first hand inspection by a knowledgeable person. Excellent pictures and an accurate description at the least.

All very true.

However, unless this carbine is a clunker, I think that it's worth a bit more than $500.
While truly serious collectors might not value it highly, if it isn't exceptional, it should still have a general value which is in excess of of an average post-64 rifle.

Perhaps no more than an average pre-64 carbine of 1950s manufacture, but still more than post-1964 guns.
That US valuation was 5 years old, as well.
 
I've sold 10 94s locally this year and all I can say is that around here I could sell that rifle for $600+ at the drop of a hat.
But people in this area seem to have an abnormal fascination with thirty thirtys.
