Have an Old Winchester?

[TRAP55]

Im looking to purchase a Winchester Model 70 30-06 that is supposed to be pre-64. I am having a hard time finding a guideline for value. I dont want to get ripped off, heres some info on the gun:

all metal parts have been refinished in a very clean semi-gloss black. Stock has been changed out to a polymer stock. Rifle is wearing vintage redfield match grade iron sights. owner claims its a sub-MOA rifle. Its VERY heavy, but then again Im used to handling AR platforms. thanks for any info!

Cary, refinished and a plastic stock terminated any collector value the pre 64 Model 70's carry. With no scope, I wouldn't get on the plus side of $350, but that's just me.

Hi can you check this one ?

Model 1894 30-30 - S/N #474939

I cant remember where I found it, but the info I have is it was built in 1909.
thank you!

Wow. Glad I asked, thank you for the info. I offered the seller $700, down from his $1000 asking. I'm going to have to ruin his day, supposed to meet him @ 1130 today to transfer...

Here's the win mod 70 in question:

Okay, now I can see what it is. Your $700 offer is a fair price, but I wouldn't exceed that.

Got it. Spoke to seller this morning, he said the rifle is a heavy barrel model, stock is McMillan and had been glass bedded? Would this rifle be considered C&R? Do I still need to Dros it?

[TRAP55]

Pre 64's are all C&R. I don't know if changing the stock changes that status.
If that's a factory heavy barrel, somebody really shot themselves in the foot refinishing and changing stocks. Is the original stock available? Get me the serial too.

No rush Trapp, I enjoy all the info you are coming up with. Take some time to get some rest, enjoy the holidays, and your shoot. Got a note from my Uncle, he has found a couple of the pieces for the sights, I'll get those sometime after the new year.

I see you've been busy Trapp, any word from Bert?

[TRAP55]

Eric, I haven't forgotten you, I'll try Bert again this evening, his work schedule is about as insane as mine.

The Model 64 was serialized entirely within the Model 94 range. Approximately 5,704 made. Offered in both Rifle, and Carbine versions. Calibers offered were .219 Zipper, .25/35, .30/30, and .32WS.
Serial # 1,583,4XX was made very early in 1949.
