Hi all.
Not much happening on this forum so I just thought I'd stick my head in the door.
Back in January of 2006, when Winchester had finally closed up shop, there was a "race" to the local shops by just about everyone looking for their Model 94. The prices around here rose about 25% over "normal". I, too, got caught up in that frenzy but was judicious in what I wanted. I wanted a 30.30 and it has to be an older model. The new ones just didn't do it for me.
I poke in the rack of about a dozen models and did end up finding a beautiful...really very nice 90% rifle, with a serial number dating back to 1952. The price was $371 including tax and it was C&R so all I had to do is swap paperwork with the FFL.
It's got to be one of the most fun rifles I own. I'm a big fan of military semi-autos but I've always wanted a lever-action rifle. This one fit the bill nicely.
Have any of you noticed what 94 Wins are going for anymore? Have the prices stablized?
