I was sure that this would have sold by now. Seems like at least a year since it first showed up on Gunbroker.
Why do the two proof marks look completely different .The barrel looks to have been heavily sanded or machined,compared to my winchesters .
That gun sure is unique as he described. Uniquely screwed up, the proof marks don’t even match.

I truly wonder how much of the seller’s gray matter is still functioning!?! He has had that same butchered Model 94 listed for close to 3-years now, and when he does reduce the listed price, it is only by a few $$ each time. With Gunbroker now charging a relisting fee (for people and listings just like this one), I have to wonder how much longer the seller will continue to list it.

Is it really enough of a charge to discourage these “eternal” listings? Rather doubt it. Simply showing a count of the times an item has been relisted would be much fairer for bidders.
He may enjoy responding to those who tell him what it is worth. It might be worth the Gunbroker charges to him.
It is worth it to him to discuss this item. He has other “very,very rare” items he would like to discuss. Reminds me of a gentleman I have seen for quite a few years at the gun shows I occasionally frequent. He has a M71 and a pre 29 that caught my eye. They are priced like this guys rifle, no way they will ever sell , but makes him proud to have them…..
Seems like a reasonable price for a no name, no caliber rifle that can double as a mirror?

Your right, That uniquely rare gun also is a survival tool, you can single a rescue plane with the side of the receiver.

Somebody wore out a perfectly good buffing wheel on that rifle.

I had to look at it again to get my morning going and just noticed that it is sold “as is” too.
That auction is sure full of informative information.
A bonus inclusion:
I have a 20 gauge pump also with no markings. the people at Winchester told me that these are what they call marker barrels. every 5000 barrels one comes out with no markings to note the end of a run. don’t know if this helps at all but thought you might like the info. also they are not supposed to be sold retail but sometimes they make it out to the public by mistake
I do note the seller notes he was continuously (and, “often”) reduce the price until it gets a bid. Wow – that’s going to be a ton of relisting.
Accounting for inflation and how often he reduces prices it won’t sell in his life time. I think his heirs will only get $150 for it.

Yet he is a gunbroker seller with an A+ rating and over 100 pieces of feedback. Buy with confidence? I notice several of his items are somehow, “special” (in his mind). He has a Ruger handgun where he asserts, “Lowest Ser.# on GB?” And then there is his S&W Model 66, “very RARE????”. I just get tired of the gunbroker hype. Substance has become a scarce commodity. Too bad as I like substance.
As long as the seller is offering a return policy a buyer will not leave bad feedback. A buyer is going to wait on leaving feedback until he gets his money back and once the seller returns the money the sales is voided and the seller can no longer leave feedback. At least that is how understand it works if its like Ebay. I never had to return a GB item yet.

am I missing something here? I wouldnt take that thing for free? is he crazy or am I?
One other thing I noticed was a 1966 model 94 would not have a plastic butt pad.
I think that change was around 69.

Idiocy… greed… delusionality… that’s a list of the kindest thoughts I had when I looked at this auction. And I agree, I wouldn’t take it for free. I simply wouldn’t be willing to pay that much for it.
