Hello All,
Long time reader, first time poster here.
I am looking at a Winchester Model 1894 in 30-30, with a 20" barrel to buy. According to the seller it was made in 1942.
Unfortunately, it's not a firearm I can see in person, as it is located about 12 hours from me. I did ask the seller for more pics and he did send those. Overall, considering the age, it looks very decent. I did ask about the rifling, but he did not respond to that question.
My question(s) to you all.
What should I be looking at considering this rifle?
Any additional questions I should ask the seller?
The price seems a little low, IMO, based on the year of manufacture. But, then again, it could just be a "good deal".
Any additional advice is very welcomed!
Thank you,
Mike
