Model 1894 Help with date and value

Hi,

I've got an older 94 Serial Number 4331XX Nickel Steel - 30 WCF The bore looks good and the Rifle functions and shoots well. Can anyone confirm its age and offer insight as to its value? This is not something I collect and I'm hoping to pass it along to someone who's into these type of Winchester's.

Thanks for your help!!

I'll make sure to do that Shooter13... I've been looking and I see it was most likely made in 1909..

I believe your rifle was produced in 1908. As far as value, too difficult. "As is" necessarily subject to pessimistic 'low balling'. With some thoughtful clean up, informative descriptive information, a start toward valuation. Both bore condition and even more, parts condition would play critical roles; the determination of which would be fundamental to any realistic pricing.
So perhaps a long way of saying a conundrum; but one which not many even willing to place any kind of bet with all the unknowns.
Good luck &
My take
