Title: Old Rifles worth?
Post by: Red Leg on August 02, 2008, 06:27:02 PM: My brother gave me 2 old rifles he says where paid to him for some work performed. I hunt and have guns, he, well he does not hunt and I taught I might want them. Like to get a ball park figure on their worth. I have no real need for them.

Winchester model 1892, 25-20 WCF says patented Coct. 14, 1884,
has a Octagon barrel.

Winchester model 94 25-35, says patented Feb.22,27 on the sight.
Has a medal plate on the end of the stock.

Both appear to be in good condition.

Also have a Eastern Arms Company 94a 16 gauge Single shotgun
that belonged to my father. Wonder about is worth. I started hunting with this, has a very small hammer to pull back when shooting.

Yes, please do and let us know what they price at because I'm just curious enough to check back and too lazy enough to not check myself. :P
