Hard to value in that shape, especially without hands on. All the parts that need replacing are easily found. Bore condition is a big factor.
Conservative WAG would be no more than $200 a piece for the .22's. Without knowing the inside condition on the 94, $400? It's an early 1907, the Mod 1906 is a late 1910.
If the Spencer is in working order, you won't find one for less than $2500, the CF breech block is a big plus too.

Hey Trap55! Can someone drill out a 1890 22 short carrier the correct distance and make it a 22 long rifle carrier?

remember your thread on this?

I was thinking about doing the same thing and trap shared some great info..

we exchanged messages and I think we had a swap in mind.. maybe you can too..

I think I owe trap some bore pictures of mine and that's where we left off..

either way, there's also a vendor homestead that has lots of parts..

probably others..

good luck!


my boy's first rifle shot was out of my 1890 this past summer

Cool picture. How old is he?

Thanks KB for the reply. Don't mean to go OT with Ranger's thread...just Trap55 is really knowledgeable and helped me with my 22WRF 1890, so I figured I'ld quickly ask.

thank you! was 5 there, just turned 6..

that was my bull frog gun, better range than my gig, just had to wait for cloud to settle to yank 'em out

my momma only had one rule in her kitchen though.. can't leave 'em on the bone, no fry pan hoppers

had many a mess of good frog legs, mm-Mmm!

good thread btw, and some nice pictures, thank you..

good info flow here, especially when trap jumps in.. thanks all!

just remembered where those bore pictures were.. looks like a country road map, lol

maybe you guys could merge your threads however that works?

would it still work or make a big mess..

anyways, I agree, didn't mean to murk up Ranger's thread, my apologies if I did..

You could, but I wouldn't waste a good .22 Short carrier to do it. A Long carrier is more plentiful and cheaper.
You still need a barrel with the faster twist if you plan on hitting the same place twice...on purpose. If you have that, and the barrels liners do have it, I would use a 1906 or 62 carrier/lifter so I could shoot all three chamberings.
Killer Bee, love that pic of the boy shooting, but you just changed the value on that rifle to "invaluable" now.
That bore pic is cringe worthy!
I've had worse that still shot straight though.

No worries on thread jacking... I took it off topic myself when I introduces a hand full of other rifles in here and started asking questions about them. Lots of good info flowing here and that is all I care about.

Funny how a thread on old .22's will take off. The old ones are my passion. Yeah, I got a bull barrel 10/22 that makes one hole groups, but I have a couple that'll still do the same, and were made well before Bill Ruger was old enough to wear pants.
When I'm at the range with one, they seem to draw the youngsters. When I catch one eyeballin the gun, I ask hm if he wants to shoot it. Of course the answer is always yes. After seeing how it works, and making holes in the target, the questions start. They want to know all about it. They leave with a big grin, and asking dad if they can get one. Dad usually wants to shoot it too!
That's what put the fire in my belly when I was about 7, and it's been a lifetime addiction.

Here is one... TRAP55 may have other sources. The guy is a walking encyclopedia. Speaking of which, we need to touch basis to continue our conversation TRAP... one of my kids caught a cold at Lego Land and gave it to me and now I have no voice. I will shoot you a text or email when I get a voice back and we can figure our schedules out.

Thanks for the link.
One thing I will caution on these pump guns is never chamber a round with
Trigger pulled back, they will fire a round . Fun at the range and exciting on the
Work bench.

Sorry for the late reply, job doubled down on their efforts to finish me off before I can retire, but the holidays being over has put a kink in their plan.
Wisner is the only one that I know of that makes new extractors, and they are out. That's why everyone else is out. Homestead has a couple of parts suppliers, but can't say 100% who makes theirs.
Try Popperts, Jack First, or Ebay. There were two just listed on Ebay, one is scrap metal, the other is serviceable, and over priced. The .22 S,L,and LR extractors are all the same, and the same for the Models 1890,1906, and 62/62A.
The .22WRF extractor has a larger hook and won't work.
These rifles don't have a disconnector. With a little practice, especially with Shorts, you can empty the mag about as fast as a semi auto.
Pump arm vertical to the forearm, forearm held between the thumb and finger tips, rock your wrist forward and back, as you hold the trigger back. Have a good supply of ammo though.
