Was this a good buy ? (Pre 64 winchester)

Mostly only to collectors. To a shooter a nice "shiny" fresh blue and refinished stock may just be the cats ass. Depends on what your reason for purchasing something is. If you are looking for a deal someone with a lot of money into it will hope to get some of that back. If you are looking for a truck gun if the barrel is good and it shoots it could look like its been used for driving fenceposts....if the price is right.
 
From what the photos convey, appears to be pretty good condition.

Kinda like used cars (I was a sales manager for about ten years), there are those that are, as they say, used hard and put away wet, and then there's the cream puffs, low miles and minty. These you pay a premium for...happily!

Look at the price of those new '94s made in Japan, could of had one of them for about twice as much.

Or a well used and scarred one for half as much.

Or you could have passed, and probably kicked yourself a year from now after finding nothing else nearly as well looked after.

Now that you've got one, look after it the way the last owner apparently did, and it will only go up in value over the years.

^ are you serious ? For making a shorten word? Who let the liberals become mods ? No diff than saying USA , cop , USD , can , ect ect geez this site is getting a tad tight for most true woodsman Hunter types
 
The OP's rifle would fetch $600 easy around my area & would be closer to $700 if it was
on consignment at one of our local dealers. The $700 figure would be average price at
any of our regional gun shows.

If the rifle is in great shape mechanically and has a good bore, then the OP got a fair deal.
Looks like its' in pretty decent shape.(Lightened the pic a bit) Should be a nice shooter.:)

I like to go with what the people of the country choose and for the Japanese when they are displaying abbreviated international (english)country identification they use JPN.
Jap is fallout from the WWII era and usually has a negative connotation...... it's all in the tone.

the sterotypical ignorant red neck's with colorful but limited vocabulary?
I love hunting with all sorts of people but I never really understood the subtleties of the f word(even though I use it more then most) until I met tugboat Jimmy in camp!
What a character! I still hear the JAP,Chink stuff from time to time but for the most part these people are not racist, it's just how they learned to refer to certain eternities and they are stubborn to change their habits.

It's hard on the internet but in person you can usually feel it when there is hated behind a spoken word.

JPN guns or USA guns....? :)

I think this thread ran it's course a while back so derail might be it's only chance at immortality!

Any asians in the house care to share their favorite term for ignorant pasty people?
There must be something as it seems to be a universal truth.

I think Canada is by far the best possible place to be different and still fit it in but people need to be comfortable about themselves and not threatened by words.
