Do not remember them coming drilled and tapped for Williams peep, just might be a refurbed!
You would not get that here in Canada... the USA gun market is really high right now.
This is incorrect. The bean counters massacred this gun just like the M70, and I assume all winchester guns in 1964. I think it was worse for the 94 because there are more moving parts. You easily double the value being pre-64 and that's just for shooter grade guns.
Thank you for reposting the pic.
I didn't think the market would be THAT different other than the exchange rate. I'll refrain from giving opinions on value in the future.
Oh and I suspected reblue too, but I zoomed in on the picture and what I can see of the screw holes and barrel markings look sharp. Would definitely need more pictures to make a judgement call though.
You think that’s wild, check out 9mm...
Canada:

That’s 15.50 USD after exchange.
Same box of ammo state side:

With exchange that’s $79 CAD.
You are wrong. Only a few parts were sheet metal instead of cast part and the gun - I own many - are as functional as the other version.Pre and post worth the same thing if in the same condition but myself prefer the post 64 - better gun - closer tolerances. Wood to metal fit on pre-64 leave you wondering if it was fitted on a Monday morning.
Pre-64 have more barrel dimensions variations and most barrel rifling show machining marks that go from acceptable to rough. Pre-64 actions parts rattle in the frame and are not as closely fitted than the post 64.
With time - the 94 got better - old obsolete machinery used to make them were replaced with more modern - more precise equipment.
The only model that was butchered in my book is the 94ae with their cross bolt safety but must admit, fit and finish is better than ever on those.
No matter - 5 millions+ of 94 were made and they run from $450 to 700 in the EE and many just sit there unsold until price is reduced.
Other than in the box - new condition gun - collector value is nil. Exception a pre 1900 guns or some example of very early 1900 with special configurations.
