Hello all, just joined the site and am looking for some info on 5 M94s I just inherited from a relative. There are 2 30-30’s and 3 .32WS’s. Their serial numbers put them all pre-64 per your database.
The 2 30-30’s numbers are: 21752xx and 23639xx. Both are in NRA Good-VG condition. There is no rust or pitting anywhere including the bores. 21752xx does have a dent in the stock, but other than that the wood on both is VG. Here’s a pic. 21752xx on top. The bluing on the receiver of 23639xx looks thin due to the light, it is just as good as 217’s.
The 32 serial#s are: 11335xx, 11892xx, 25108xx. 11335xx bluing is pretty thin on the receiver, lever and front band. Barrel is not pitted inside and out and the blueing is still pretty good, probably 70%. 11892xx looks “too good” to me, I think it was re-blued at some point in it’s life. Bore is in good shape. 25108xx is the best of the .32s and ranks right up there with the 30/30s as far as condition. In the pic below 113 top, 118 middle and 251 bottom.
I’m wondering if anyone can give an approximate value for insurance purposes. I am not a collector of civilian Winchester rifles, so my knowledge is pretty thin on what the market is like. I shoot and collect more US Vintage military firearms. Of course if I can answer any of your questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Thanks much!

Too many XXX’s. This is a friendly Forum for Winchester collectors. No need to XXX your numbers. Big Larry

It looks like you have inherited a nice group of carbines there Art. I’m not the one to value them and they are a little later than what I’m mostly interested in. Thanks for posting the pictures anyway, it looks like you are off to a good start with these. Welcome to WACA.

Hello Art,
The three post WW II production Carbines are all in the $750 – $850 range. I need to see better pictures of the two pre WW II Carbines to get a feel for the graded condition. If you can do so, send pictures to me at [email protected], and please provide the complete serial numbers so that I can add them to my research survey.
