Old Winchester Octagon Model 94 - The Firearms Forum

Pabooger · 12-18-2004, 10:54 AM

Just got back from the local shop, and he took in a nice old Winchester on consignment. It would look real nice next to my 1922 circa saddle ring carbine. Too bad Im broke!!!

The one he has is a circa 1923 Model 94 in 30/30,Octagon, 26 inch barrel, with an old Lyman Peep on it.

PA, How much they want for it?

Carl S · 12-18-2004, 11:24 AM

I lust after one of those!!!!

Pabooger · 12-18-2004, 11:33 AM

$950 a little steep I think but what he is asking for it and what sells it for are two different things.

Heres a picture of my saddle ring

TRAP55 · 12-18-2004, 11:46 AM

I like that! I had(stolen

) a 1918 16" Trapper with a saddle ring, and I sure miss that gun. E-mail Bert H. and he can give you the values on both of those 94's.

Depending on the rifle's condidtion, these rifles bring good money. If we can get a picture of the other side of your rifle we can find you a closer price. However, depending on condition of the shop gun, $950 would not be a bad deal. If it is color case hardened, like yours, they bring more money.
I lightened up your pic a little bit to better see it.

What condition was the shop gun in?

What is the barrel length on your gun?

Pabooger · 12-18-2004, 12:41 PM

heres a few more pictures, I can try and take some better ones later

Barrel length is 19and 5/16 to where it meets the receiver.

Site is a Lyman #38

Pabooger · 12-18-2004, 12:45 PM

I would estimate the one at the shop to be around 60% but Im no expert!

inplanotx · 12-18-2004, 01:30 PM

Is the one at the shop blued or case hardened? I am going to move this to the ask the experts. We need CountryGunsmith here to evaluate, He is a collector and knows far more than my books tell me. Stay tuned.

Pabooger · 12-18-2004, 05:23 PM

It has the nickle steel barrel and I believe it is blued.

njretcop · 12-18-2004, 06:02 PM

I feel sorry for you guys that own these old guns. All of my guns are new and shiney.............

Hello, Pa.

Looks like a standard SRC from the pics. In that condition, about $500 or so but that sight will pull $100 by itself any day.

As far as the 1894 rifle you mention, $950 is too steep unless it has special order features. The octagon barrel was an option (standard was round) but still a common one.
