A good friend lost her father recently. She inherited a Model 94, Serial #1384767 which I believe dates it to 1946 production. I would rate it at 99%. Chambered in .30 WCF. Chrystal clear proof marks, and barrel markings. Loading port is flawless. I’m not a 94 guy or I would buy it. What is a reasonable price? I don’t have pictures but do have it “in hand”. I collect Winchester 22’s, pumps mostly. I have 2 94’s just for fun. One an 1895 and another a 1906 Octagon barrel, factory peep, and “Browning Bros Morgan UT” stamped on top of the barrel.
Just looking for ballpark figure to sell here. She wants me to sell it for her. BTW…….. full magazine, round barrel, hooded ramp front, and Buckhorn rear sight.
Thoughts????
Sorry for your friends loss. In the condition you describe, I would say in the $1,000 – $1,200 range.

I can send a video via email if anyone would like to see it.
thank you for your prompt response my friend.
It was indeed manufactured in 1946, and based on the serial number, it should also be Flat-band Carbine. If it is truly in 99% condition, it is worth closer to $1,500 – $1,700. Please send the pictures to me at [email protected]

Also sent photos. Checkered hammer. Single slot mag tube. Flat band on barrel and mag-tube. Don’t know the difference between receiver types. 20″ barrel.

I tend to agree with Bert on it’s worth if it truly is 99% and a flatband. I’d like to see video and pictures also, if you don’t mind.
Thanks,

Here’s a later (1958) variation – not a flat band of course – but 99% condition. As you can see, it sold well:

IMHO it looks like quite a bidding war. The last 2% of the blue cost $1000 – $1200. Just my opinion.

I agree with Win61 about the bidding war. I have a very similar 1960 vintage 94 (maybe a bit nicer) that I’d part with for quite a bit less if I hadn’t been born in 1960. I DO have a nice enough 1894 built in 1961 that I’d be more than willing to part with for much less than the linked item. 😉

I also agree it was probably a bidding war. However, that seems to happen on most any gun that either Austinsguns or Chayn’s sell. Granted they usually have very nice pieces, they do quality descriptions with lots of good photos and they have great reputations. Having said all that, I’ve never been close to buying anything from them. It seems the only way to win one of their auctions is to get into a bidding war – and be the winner of that war 
I just received a model 94 from my son. It is NIB, ever fired with the manufacturers grease on it. Serial number, 1625223. How much value would I lose if shot it?

Which caliber is it… e.g. 30 W.C.F., 32 W.S., or 25-35 W.C.F. ?

Manufactured in 1949 with no features isn’t a draw for me, but some collectors will pay a premium if it’s in the original box & unfired as you said, Hard call. I probably wouldn’t shoot it.

I would never shoot my 1949 NIB serial number 1617975. It’s a piece of history.
Let me know if you want to sell yours. What caliber do you have?
John
I would not fire it. Definitely not fire it. What’s to be gained? It will go bang. And yes, the value will be hurt. There’s not many pre-64 new in the box, unfired Winchesters out there. If you fire it, the carbine will no longer be in that elite group. Surely it would not be difficult to find another .30 WCF carbine to fire?
