Thank уου fοr уουr hеlр
Thе local gunsmith tοld mе іt wаѕ іn very gοοd condition, thе action іѕ tight, bore іѕ tight, never bееn dropped аnd shoots trυе. Mу grandfather wаѕ short аnd hаd thе stock сυt down tο 13″ wіth a 1/2″ pad tο fit hіm. Mу LOP іѕ 16″ аnd аm looking аt value maintaining options. Thе gunsmith tried tο convince mе tο trade thе weapon іn οn a nеw model straight асrοѕѕ. Sounded really phishy tο mе ѕο I came tο thіѕ forum.
Thanks

As with these and the pre-64 Model 94’s condition and chambering are the deciding factor for value. 30-06 was the most common round chambered for this rifle which isn’t necessarily a bad thing it just makes it more common and less rare. “Very good” to one person and “very good” to a firearm appraiser are quite different things and that goes for the bluing being in “good” shape as well. If the serial number you give is correct your rifle was made in 1941 with a production run of over 19,000 rifles which was considerably more than any year six years before or after another fact that makes it less rare. It is a great rifle and a great piece of history although putting a price to it must be done by a trained appraiser and anything that I or anyone else could tell you is merely a guess. Some rare models of this gun have brought high auction prices well into the tens of thousands of dollars but I suspect that yours is not that rare. If you search completed auctions on gunbroker. com (you will need to sign up as a member to do so,it’s free) you can better get an idea of what the market for your or similar rifles is at this point in time. I hope this helps.
In the 30-06 caliber they are selling at Auctions for a Minimum of $900. 00 to $1500. 00 Dollars in Good Used Condition without a scope on it. *
more than they say
I would absolutely not trade straight across. Your vintage model 70, even with the shortened stock should be worth at least $750- $1,500 without scope, rings and bases.
My serial number reference actually shows this serial number as being made in 1942
