Hello, my name is Alex. I inherited my great uncle’s collection of firearms. I was curious what the value of these guns are. I have two model 94s. One is chambered in 25-35. Serial number is 271-361. The other model 94 is chambered in 32 Winchester Special, serial number is 393-224. I also have a model 1890 pump action 22LR serial number 181526 and a model 63 in 22 long rifle. Serial number 113191. They all look to be in good usable condition. The 25-35 gun has a tang mounted peep site and the 32 Winchester special gun has an octagon barrel, so does the model 1890.

Alex,
It is not possible to provide even a rough value estimate without first seeing a set of clear detailed pictures of each gun (individually). As a Guest on the WACA website, you will need to upload the pictures to a photo hosting website, then post the URL to them here.

The pics work. Someone else needs to give you a value. These rifles show a lot of usage and loss of finish.

Thanks you for letting me know the pictures work. When you say someone else needs to value them do you mean in person or just someone else on here?

Welcome Alex.
Someone on the forum will likely give you a rough estimate of what your guns might be worth. They’ll probably need more pictures though.
In the meantime, here are a few links to resources you might find helpful:
https://winchestercollector.org/dates/
https://winchestercollector.org/the-trilogy-models-1894-94-55-64/
I think the calibers of your 1894’s are desirable. The round barrel one is a carbine and the octagon one is a rifle.

Thank you for the useful links and information.

Alex, if I may suggest it, consider taking extensive photographs of just one gun. By extensive, I mean close-ups of all four surfaces (lateral sin & dex, dorsal and ventral), starting at the butt and working down to the muzzle. In addition, place the beam of a penlight in the breech and take a photo of the bore of the barrel from the muzzle end. A penlight the intensity of which is adjustable would be best because too bright will blind the camera lens.
If I were doing it, I would start with the Model 63 22 automatic because it will be easiest to value.
After that, Id take the Model 90.
Finish condition and wear on the external metal and wood are the most significant factors. On relatively modern guns such as yours, bore condition is important too.
I suggest you consider taking an online membership in WACA, at very modest cost. Then you can post all the photos directly.
If you are not a member of Gunbroker.com, consider joining. It is free although proving who you are can be a small pain. GB doesn’t allow pseudonyms or multiple accounts under different names.
Why bother with GB? Because only members can search COMPLETED auctions, which is a very useful tool for valuing guns. See what a gun looks like and what it sold for. I suggest a search with results sorted highest number of bids first. Look at ALL the pictures of every piece and read descriptions. This can take some time but it is better spent there than looking at books where the values were published years ago. Take into consideration buyers at auctions pay shipping and a 1% fee on GB..Sellers pay a larger fee but not terribly onerous. it is scaled but might average 5%. Shipping and fees affect what buyers will pay and how sellers set minimum bids.
If you can go to gun shows, do so and look for your models and their pricing. Don’t take your guns to a show to sell until you know what they should be worth at retail and wholesale. Dealers are looking for white meat — 60% of retail value if they are honest. Most are.
Most WACA members have more experience than I do; some are leading experts in their field, nationally and even Worldwide. Perhaps some will add to or subtract from my advice.

Thank you for the information I will check out GB and work on getting some better pictures of the guns
