Back in the 70s my father in law gifted me his old model 94 30-30 Winchester. He told he bought it from a friend in the 30s for 25 bucks. He said his friend needed money due to the depression and had never shot it. My father in law also only used it a couple of times as he was a shot gun man.
Several years back I wrote Winchester and provided the serial number. They replied and said it was manufactured in the spring of 1920. It has been a great deer gun and I last shot a deer 3 years ago with it.
Out of a 1-10 rating it is an 8 still has bluing and the stock has only one blemish. Now retiring it as it has served me well. Bought a Henry 30-30 a few years ago as a replacement and a Henry 45-70 last year love them both.
