Value of Model 94 Win 30-30?

Any idea of what these are currently worth.
It's not a special edition model, just a regular old lever action. I would say it is in pretty nice shape, even though it was made in 1965, and hasn't been shot much at all.
I don't really need it, but heck who doesn't want to add to their collection if the price is right.

$300-$400. I got one in about the same condition that I would let go for something in that price range.

I picked my two for $75 and the other $100.00 both where in very good shape. $300-$400 you might as well buy brand new from a store, a little pricey in my eyes!

About $350.00 if in very good condition.

Also really go over the rifle and cycle a handful of shells through it to make sure the timing is OK and the shell elevator and magazine catch are working properly. The cost-cutting measures Winchester instituted in 1964 were not limited to the Model 70 and a lot of late '60's M94s had problems with poor quality parts.

Thanks for the info!
Boo, I don't know if the owner has any shells on hand or not, but doing the "test" as you mention is probably a heck of a good idea. I may have some once fired 30-30 cases kicking around, but I'm not sure if cycling empty cases would give a true representation on how it is functioning or not.

I know the old fellow who's selling it, and he said $100 would be fine. He is critically ill, and is trying to clean up a few things before he passes away. His immediate family is anti-firearm, and he's afraid they would just turn it over to the RCMP to be destroyed. Obviously since he has had it since 1965, it means a lot to him, and he would prefer that didn't happen.

One issue that may be a problem, is that he never registered it, nor did he acquire a POL, or a PAL. One of the many old radicals who disagreed with that whole process
I phoned the registry, and they said I would have to register it the same as if buying a new gun, and then have it verified over the phone by a verifier. I asked if he could get in trouble, and they said NO.
He is concerned though, that this may not be the case. He doesn't want his name brought into it at all, which might make this a no go. A little paranoid perhaps, or justifiably so?
I'm not sure how you can even purchase a firearm in a case like this? Normally I have done it either over the phone, with the properly licensed seller present, or directly from a gun shop.

Anyone gone through this before? Do you still have to give information as to the seller, even though he has no POL or PAL?

No, he will not get in trouble.

The CFC just wants these non-registered firearms registered and they will not go after the original owner. In fact right now there is an amnesty in place just to cover this type of situation.
It really doesn't matter where you obtained the rifle; it could have come from a dying old man or it could simply could have been hiding at the back of your safe where it was missed when you registered the rest of you guns.

Boo, I thought that the amnesty may cover him in this case, but upon reading through the info regarding it on the CFC website this a.m. I wonder..
At one point, (see italics) it appears that "anyone" licensed or otherwise can sell or give away a non-restricted firearm to someone who has a valid PAL..But then I see one (I hi-lighted it in red) line that has me concerned.
You get the impression that the amnesty would apply to him, except for that bottom line..


From the CFC website;

The amnesty applies to individuals in the following circumstances:

Individuals who are in possession of a non-restricted firearm and hold a Possession Only Licence (POL) or a Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL) for such a firearm, but do not hold a registration certificate for that firearm, or
Individuals who are in possession of a non-restricted firearm, who do not hold a registration certificate for the firearm in question and who:
Held a POL or a PAL that expired between January 1, 2004 and the present, or
Currently hold a POL or a PAL that will expire between now and May 16, 2011
The amnesty permits the following:

-Licensed individuals can obtain a registration certificate for their non-restricted firearm;
-Individuals with expired licences can obtain a new licence and then a registration certificate.
-All individuals can DEACTIVATE the firearm so it is no longer a firearm, or
SELL or GIVE the firearm to a public service agency (such as police service), to a business (including a museum) that holds a licence authorizing the acquisition, or to an individual who holds a PAL which authorizes the acquisition, or
EXPORT the firearm in accordance with all legal requirements, including those of the importing country, or
TURN IN the firearm to a police officer or a firearms officer for destruction or other disposal.

The amnesty does not apply to individuals who have never obtained a firearms licence.

Just not sure how to go about this, as I sure don't want him getting in trouble. I kind of get your drift about "finding one you forgot" up in the attic..kind of thing..perhaps that would be the easiest way..

I really think the police have better things to do with their time than harass a dying man.

In the end the intent of the amnesty - if not the letter of the law - will be met and all Canadians will be able to sleep safely knowing another hi-capacity military weapon (M94's were issued to the West Coast Rangers years ago ) will be neutered thanks to a little slip of paper.

I've done it, and they never even asked me where I got the unregistered rifle from. Should be all good.

I've done it too. Just call them up and tell them someone gave it to you. They don't need to know who, no names required. You will need a tape measure, cleaning rod and patience.

Just call the number, press the correct sequence and tell the nice lady on the end of the phone that you need to register a previously unregistered firearm (to the best of your knowledge). She will take you through the process, ask you to measure, ask you for serial numbers etc. She will the give you a verifier's code, and instruct you to go online and fill out the registration form there. Click send and you're done.

Well that sounds less threatening than I was thinking it was. I just didn't want this fellow to get in trouble, as he has enough problems as it is to worry about.

Any truth that a verifier will come to your home to personally check firearms if your collection amounts to ten or more?

I'm not sure if they need to come to your house. I've personally not heard of it. Give them a call. You've got nothing to hide and neither does that friend of yours (bless him, for wanting to pass on his firearms and still thinking of his buddy even on his deathbed!). You're trying to get legal after all.
