I went looking for ammo a while ago so I could finish sighting it in.
I bought it cheap-ish with a ghost ring site and started sighting it in, then something came up and it sat in the corner of the mud room for about three years.
After I decided to finally get it sighted in, I went looking for cheap (okay- less expensive) ammo.
JEZUS KEERIST!
Okay, we'll look at plan B- see what I can get for it ......
$200- $250......
I was bitching about it on a local FB page and started getting offers on it, but I had to start my 4- 14 hr shift the next day.
FB pulled it about three days in for selling fire arms. At least I didn't go to the restricted barracks this time.
SO......
I guess I could sell for $200 and use that to defray the cost of a Henry steel Big Boy in .357- which I have plenty of because of the two revolvers in that caliber plus the wife and her .38+P.
The only thing I don't like about Henry's (and it's probably a million to one chance I'd ever encounter this problem) is that after it gets pulled from the mag- it's free floating until it's shoved into the chamber.
If it ever comes to that, I'll be using the one the .GOV doesn't know I have.
Chambered in a completely different round.
$200 ? Winchesters run a bit more than that . You want to sell , I'll take it.
ReplyDeleteIt's an old one and kinda loose action.
ReplyDeleteThe bottom sling loop is a little off center drilled into the stock.
I'm in Texas, where are you at?
If you think that's bad, try getting .30-40 or .300 Savage.
ReplyDeleteAt least there's some Savage in stock... $2+ per round.
Krag runs $4 per shot when you can find it.
I saw these for $1300+ at a gun show in GA last week...
ReplyDeleteGuy near here is selling a Win 194x (I don't remember the exact year) Model 94 for $900 with a cracked stock and in need of othe work. But the action is smooth. Even so, he's gotten a lot of interest.
ReplyDeleteThe 94 was the first rifle I bought myself when I came of age. I enjoyed it immensely.
imo
ReplyDeleteYa’ll best start getting MIL, LE, CompLR Calibers.
Gampies rig is good for the wall, unless you have ammo already.
And it’s only gonna get worse.
Oh, btw, old parts are drying up at light speed.
Especially the consumables.
But do as you see fit.
Good Luck

Take a couple nice pics and put it on egunner.com. Auction site. 94s have been going for around $500-800, with a few topping out higher. The site only takes a very small percentage, and has an enormous customer base, buyers and sellers.
ReplyDeleteWhen the last KMart in the area was closing out around 16 or so years ago, I picked up a Win. 94 "Ranger for $199.99. Wasn't actually shopping for it, I just thought it was well worth the price.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't sell it at a 5X premium now; it's a tack driver.
So I see some of you are realizing that rifle & large caliber revolver ammo are well worth reloading, huh?
