94 Winchester question???

[gregintenn]

I have a chance to purchase a 94 carbine chambered in 357 magnum. It has a cross bolt safety. It is in very good shape. What would be a fair price for it? I haven't seen many for sale lately.

They're not cheap rifles at all. I would try to get it as cheap as I could. But it probably won't be real cheap. If you could get it for $300 or less, it would be a real bargain.

Yeah, sure would.

Maybe fair for .30-30, one sold on here for under $300 recently.

But .357 is much rarer.

GunBroker completed auctions serch shows $625-825.

And glancing, looks like most of the $600 range didn't meet reserve price so didn't sell.

Heck, I paid $425. for my Marlin 1894 cb in .357 mag. Used, and in very good shape w/ 2 boxes of 158 gr. Hollowpoint ammo.

I thought I got a good deal.

If it's 95% or better...I'd probably go $450. on the Winny, in .357 mag.

Let me know if you don't take it, Greg.

You see them all the time in great shape for $300-$400 in 30-30. I couldn’t find a .357mag when I was looking, so they might go a little higher.

Gregintenn, I guess I had my head somewhere..........

I quoted a little cheap huh. If you can get it for $400

it would be good maybe. They are kinda rare. The Marlin

1894 carbines are rare too. I've never seen many of

either one.

[gregintenn]

That's what I was getting at. It's tough to price it, as I haven't seen any for sale at any price. I know there are several around. People must be hanging on to them as they aren't being made any more.

Yeah, the .357 Marlin is always in demand. I finally walked into the right WalMart at the right time about 9 months ago, $485 brand new (the standard blued version). See them much higher on Gun Broker, though, again, just because there's never enough around to satisfy demand. The .30-30 in A or W config (cheaper wood stock) is usually about $350. You can usually find a .44 model too, about the same price as the .357 but generally available.

Again, do a search for Winchester 94 .357 on GB in completed auctions and you'll see most sold in the $700-800 range, is all I know about them.

Thanks for the replies.

I p/u a '94 30-30 last week. If you want to put a few rounds through it for dooky and smiles, pm me. You know where I am.

If you do buy it, I usually have .357 on hand. Hint, hint.

If you don't mind a single shot. You might find a N.E.F. or Rossi. A dealer could probably order one pretty easy.
