Folks, I am on a quest for a Marlin 1894 (newer models) in 44-40 and stumbled across a new, unfired 'custom' Marlin 1894 reciever that has a new, unfired, gunsmith-installed 1894S 20" round factory barrel in 44/40. It looks to be new and unfired, no marks on it anywhere. What would the value of such a rifle be? They're asking $695. . .sounds a little rich for a 'parts' rifle, but I'm kind of out of touch with anything non-stock.
I've seen at least one unfired 1894S in 44-40 w/box for $650 (the new purchaser is trying to sell it for $900 with no luck); there are a few of the Century models that never sell on GB for $975-$1100.
What do you all think about the price?
