Winchester used a funky steel for a while that didn't take bluing very well. It was a grainy looking surface and the paint was likely the origional finish on your rifle. Your rifle is worth $60.00. OK, jus kidding!

There is no collector value unless in mint condition. As a shooter it would depend on condition and the area you live in. It would be worth more in the heavily forested northern states than the open plains of the southwest for instance. I have seen them sell for as little as $60 and as much as $360.00 on GB.

In 2010, Winchester re-introduced the 30-30 lever action Model 94 in a Short Rifle version. But can it beat a gently used 50-year-old Sears 100? By Robert Sadowski There was time when every deer hunters’ gun rack held a 30-30 lever-action rifle, and red buffalo plaid was the only choice in a hunting coat. There are those hunters who still believe the 30-30 lever action is the ultimate rifle for a still hunter working in dense cover. The rifle’s light weight, ease of use, simple open sights, and fast follow-up shots make it a sensible choice for shots from 15 to 100 yards. Over the years, numerous manufacturers have built 30-30 lever actions — Winchester, Marlin, Stevens, Mossberg, Savage, and others. In great-grandpa’s day, hardware stores and department stores with thick catalogs also sold 30-30 lever-action rifles.

These department-store rifles were made by these gun manufacturers but were sold under the store’s in-house brand names, often at a lower price than their name-brand cousins. The two carbines are nearly dead ringers, but one was produced in 1960s and the other in 2010. The Sears Model 100, bottom, relies on common sense and good gun handling skills for safety. We gauged it to be quite a bargain.

The Winchester Short Rifle has modern enhancements, and a big price tag. From the 1950s through the 1970s, Sears, Roebuck and Co. Contracted with Winchester to build a 30-30 lever-action rifle similar to Winchester’s Model 94. Sears called it the Model 100 or Model 54. Ever mindful of marketing opportunities, Sears signed baseball great Ted Williams to endorse its outdoor products. Ted’s signature appeared on everything from outdoor clothing to rifles. In particular, there was a Ted Williams Model 100 rifle, a dead ringer for the Winchester Model 94.

Because we’re always hunting for bargains, we wanted to compare a used Sears Ted William’s Model 100 to a current-production Winchester Model 94 Short Rifle. Both of these rifles are designed around the iconic Model 94 first built by Winchester in 1894. It was the first centerfire rifle to use a then-new smokeless cartridge, the 30 Winchester or, more commonly, the 30-30. How would a 50-year-old Sears thutty-thutty match up with a brand-spanking new Shorty?

Pretty dang well, as we explain below. Descargar windows xp point v9 sp3 spanish iso link. Winchester Model 94 Short Rifle No. 534174114 30-30 Win., $1230 In 2010 Winchester re-introduced the Model 94 in a Short Rifle version, a plain model that is reminiscent of the millions of Model 94 carbines the company produced a quarter century ago. Of course, the Short Rifle rollmark indicates manufacture in Japan rather than New Haven, CT. We thought it would be interesting to test this new Model 94 against a gently used Ted Williams Model 100. Both rifles were manufactured by Winchester and have similar features.
