Value?

[Coyote Ugly]

Stumbled across a Winchester 1886 for sale in .45-90. Value?

Edit: Typo error before - for another rifle, should be:

 

[BC Bigbore]

Not much as it's really old Give the seller about $200 for it then sell it to me and I'll be a nice guy and give you $300 as I'm feeling very generous today

Nice

Stumbled across a Winchester 1886 in .45-90, 90% condition including bore. All Original parts, finish and case hardened receiver. Value?

Nice guns but the 86 is not in 90% condition.The receiver is going silver and the barrel is a brown patina and not the original blue.

Nevertheless... still worth a fair chunk of change these days. Getting harder & harder to find. If you are selling it don't let it go for anything less than ~ $1,750...

I'll offer the seller a $100 since it's old

Condition is everything .... but the 90 percent seems to be in some dispute.

'86's are getting tougher to find, and various "features" all contribute more to
the worth of one than another.

Not unusual to see a functional speciment in "Fair" condition go for $ 750 to
$ 1000. Good case colours, remaining blue & varnish, octagon, deluxe and takedown ... all +++ factors.

Last one I`sold was a takedown in 45-70 that was about two years ago and I got $900,rough bore weathered wood no finish left on metal.......I t hink Igot took.

As others have said, condition is important as well as presence/absence of special options. How the gun will letter from the Cody Firearms Museum is another consideration. This and an "in person" appraisal would help determine a fair value.

I was thinking it might be Hip and Fashionable to be Brazing on a high turret mount or a Long Side Rail Mount and a Hensholdt 4X scope from a 1944 Kar98K Mauser. LOL!
