ok so this guy wants to trade for a gun i dont really use anymore

he has a winchester 94
he took it in on a trade, he never shoots it

serial number is 43887XX

anybody know what year it is, im looking for something i can beat thru the woods with, wondering if this is any good or not

It was made in 1975.

Is it in really nice shape? Action slick? Mint bore? If so, make the trade.

i told him i would pass, selling my gun and hopefully picking up a 336cs early next week from a guy, says its mint, less than 20 rounds down the pipe...pics look spotless

Thats a better choice as far as I am concerned. I have both the win. is old pre 1930 I believe. win's rattle, eject up(they strange that way) and it makes putting a scope on different,not that i would scope a 30-30.
My dad's 336 is 50+ yrs old and solid no rattles no jams and ejects to the side I will treasure every trip to the field with it.

I agree you are better off waiting on the Marlin. The Pre 64 Winnys are nice for what they are but the post 64's always seemed cheap to me..
