Good or bad trade?

Ha! Good question. The thing with collectables..any collectables..those folks have no logic. I guess one could say it is driven by passion more than anything else. Then one has the dealers at gun shows...some of them will jump on anything to make a bundle. I can see the value of a '94 if it was pre '64, but today...with a lot of people and the views some have on things....who knows what they will buy.

How collectable is a G.P.R.?

If it was a Winchester 94, short term trade may look good, long term?

Winchester has now went out of business, the 94 Winchester will no longer be made, existing ones will go up in value.

 

I have a model 92 32-20 and MODEL 90 22 WRF that I would never part with.I hardly shot the 30-30 and will shoot the heck outta the Lyman,so the trade felt good to me.The 30-30 value apraised at about $200.

For a Non pre-64 M94, especially from the 70's (when quality was really at it's lowest) and having been refinished, I think you did right well. I'd put no more than around $150 or so value on that Winchester, maybe less. Since it's been refinished, the "collector" value is ZERO. It only has value as a functional hunting gun.
Seems weird to be discussing the collector value of a 1970's M94.

During the 60's, I remember thousands of guns going for 10 or 15 bucks apiece, today I see those same guns going for six or seven hundred dollars. Time does march on.
