A 44 RF is a little to hard to acquire and too expensive to shoot for most people I assume. So how much would a unfired bore elevate the value? And dose anything look incorrect about this gun?

Steve,

When a seller lists an old Winchester with "unfired" bore, you need to step back and grab the salt shaker.

For some reason your inserted link does not work so here is again – http://www.clarksantiques.com/Winchester_66_Carbine_2.html

For a gun that is suppose to be unfired, the screws have been messed up. There should not be a reason to take it apart if its that great shape.

I kind of figured that and that’s why I ask the big boys! The seller sent me 16 other pics of the gun. Some look like what I would expect others don’t seem quite right. Too good or not good enough. Like the back of the butt plate seems rougher than the outer. If I get time Ill post some for conversation and of course education. Its either a real nice gun or a fake but I would like to know.

The wood looks refinished to me. That would explain the buggered screw.
