Winchester Pre-64 94 Value

6Den · Jul 28, 2020

I have this nice old rifle from 1959 chambered in .30/30. Was wondering what you guys think it’s worth. I found some old threads on the subject but they’re kind of dated. It’s in great shape and the only thing not original is the addition of a recoil pad. What say you?

Why a trigger lock for pictures?

It was on there and didn’t bother taking off.

Beautiful rifle and it's in great shape. I have my Father's Model 94 from 1958, in 32 Winchester Special.

Thank you. Your .32spl must be worth even more...and sentimentally priceless. These old rifles are SO much nicer than the post-64s.

Going to be less with the buttstock being cut up and a buttpad added. Factory configuration it would bring good money.

Yeah, I know. The previous owner did that. I wouldn’t have molested it. How much do you think it devalues?

Has the stock been cut, or just a recoil pad added?

I can’t really tell. If cut, they did a fine job.

Quite a bit, only really collectible Winchesters are unmolested, also a late 50's 94 in 30-30 is not particularly valuable to begin with, I would say 400 or so unless there are additional holes drilled and tapped for a scope on the side not shown.

Thanks. No additional holes drilled. I’m not selling, just curious since prices are all over the map. I think it’s so much more rifle than current models. It’s hardly been shot!

You can find reproduction buttplates for $30. Make it look original. You can find real ones for $60 or so if you really look.

If you like it the way it is and have no plans to sell it than you may find that you like it better without a steel plate on the end. But I’m with the Doc, if the stock wasn’t actually cut I would have to put it back to factory.

Nice rifle!

Check length of pull. Someone may simply have wanted it longer, and added the pad without cutting the stock.

If you are going to keep it just leave the recoil pad on it, is my opinion.

I have my grandfather's 94 from the 1940's, my dad and I both shot our first deer with it. It won't be sold while I'm alive.

6Den · Jul 28, 2020

I’m now thinking It was cut, since my LOP is shorter and it fits me great. I like the original look but the pad is functional enough. Thanks all!

That is a nice rifle. I paid $570 for a 1957 last year. The finish on my action shows some slight wear but other than that everything looks good.

Very nice. My father has been trying to get rid of stuff so he can move into a smaller place. He was going to hand down his 1960s Winchester 94 to me, but between the Covid19 and the social instability, he has decided to hold onto it for now. But the 94s are pretty neat guns.

Another option is to have a gunsmith fit a reproduction Winchester recoil pad, it will look a lot better with the Winchester pad.

It's hard to tell because of the angle of the photo, but the stock length looks close to factory length to me. The 94s never really had a long LOP anyway. They were designed to be shouldered and shot quickly. I'd be hesitant to speculate on a price, but if you aren't selling it it doesn't really matter. That's a beautiful example of a 94 that I wouldn't part with.
