What is the average value for these?...

SmokinGun's, a nice 1 will bring $150.00-$200.00 easy enough.

Are they good shooters?...and this one has a winchester barrel on it. Is that a good or bad thing?...

Are you selling it or buying it. What is the price?

Might want to check how it feeds shells and cycles they weren't called Miserable Loaders fer nuthin.

A Visible Loader with a good bore is hard to find. Many times they have to be relined for restoration.

Ibrtukn just finished restoring one.

I wonder what the story is with the Winchester barrel? Replaced because of a bad bore??

I have been lusting for one of these for a couple years.

Was looking around (as usual) for a Win. 1890 and one showed up in the auction as a visible loader with a Win. barrel...the pic is another one that was at auction with an unknown reserve set (usually never bid on em)...anyhoo...still lookin' for an 1890 LR and now maybe a visable loader...

Well no doubt about it, once you see a Visible Loader in action with the little fingers gripping the back of the shell and sliding it in the chamber you will agree it is the coolest .22 action ever made.

My buddy had one in near mint condition including the bore and he tried to get $250 for it with no luck. Don't know what he finally sold it for.
