model 94 3030

has a gold saddle ring and load door whats it worth ser#4242060

your winchester was made in 1974 judging from your serial number,,there were brass saddle rings avalible as an aftermarket item that could be easily installed so yours may have had a few extras added but it may be a comememorative model of some kind ,,are there any other items like case colored frame or any other markings or engraving on the sides?if not and it's a standard post 64 levergun book values would be between 250-400 depending on condition,,dealer don't pay much for post 64 guns and i would say one would offer you between 150-250 for it unless it's something other than a standard levergun..

hey bigcurt thanks for the info-sides have scroll like engraving and a wierd colored metal what do you think

that sounds like an antique model 94,,winchester made these to resemble the old early md 94s,,the funny colored metal is whats refered to as case coloring ,,it a procedure done with a flame and gives the metal a purplish-spotty blueing,,when you said it had a gold colored saddle ring my first thought was the antique model, it also had scrol engraving on both sides ,,value for it is a little more than a standard model mabey in the 300-450 range if really clean and they were very nice examples of the md 94s with an antique look
