Hi I was wondering if anyone would have a way of knowing the aprox value of this firearm. It's a 1910 manufacture date, bore is dark, wood is great but it has a coat of varnish on it. Still looks alright and could be stripped and oiled. It has a brass blade for a front sight. Bluing is worn off the receiver. The gun works great and still shoots good. It doesn't look half bad either.
It was my Grandfathers then my mothers now mine and I'm probably going to give it to my son. Just wondering what it's worth.

Thanks, Russ
 
Keep it for your son.....sentimental value is much larger in this case than an unoriginal gun.


You also did not mention if it is a rifle(26" barrel) or a Carbine (20"barrel) round barrel or octagon. full mag or 1/2 mag or less. Many factors come into play.

pictures would help.

Re Win 32

Well there now I never knew there were so many variations. It's a 20" round barrel with a full magazine. Seems to be original except for the sling stud in the butt stock. Which I put there about 20 years ago. I can't blame anyone else for that one.
Yeah I'm going to keep it. Nice to have a firearm go through 4 generations. Just kind of wondering what it's worth. I see them all the time for $400 to $500.

Thanks WTM

Those things look fantastic when the receiver turns silver and plum and the barrel and mag are blue; I just used my late grandfather's vintage-1920 to shoot a deer this fall. He inherited it when his brother died in 1932, he gave it to my brother about 1977, and my brother used it from then until he bought a scoped .30-06 about 2004.
Money value? Yeah, maybe 4 or 5 hundred bucks.
Value to your son? You already know that one!
 
Re Win 32 spl

Yeah it's not a bad looking gun at all. Even if it is 98 years old. When I rest I can shoot about 8" at 100 yards. Open sights almost cover the target completely. Like I said it has a brass blade for a front sight, nothing too fancy. My Grandfather was a poor farmer here in the Maritimes and made do with most things in life.

You'll shoot better if you use your sights as they were designed to be used: shoot so that the point of aim is on top of the rear sight. The bullet should impact about 3 inches higher than that at 100 yards. According to older shooting manuals that were published when iron sights were still popular, the bead is not supposed to cover what you're shooting at, just come up to it. It's more obvious with a flat-top sight like a Patridge, but the theory is the same. Top of the bead, not the bead itself.
 
Re Sights

Yeah I know what you mean. Same as my pistol. What I mean is the blade on the front is as wide as the target at 100 yrds.
Still I'm not the best of shots. I had a Sako that would shoot under 1/2", but I think that was more the gun and hand loads than me.
Closest thing I have to a tack driver now is an 1187. Just kidding.
