instead of starting a new thread, i'll just post here, even if it is off topic a bit...

my friend inherited a couple of winchester 1894 lever action rifles. one is a 94 - 30 cal (30 - 30, barrel says 30 W.C.F.) made in ~1947 and the other is 94 - 32 win special, manufactured in 1968. neither of them have been fired. they are pristine, no wear anywhere, except for some small marks from being stored. seriously, never fired, never had a bullet pushed into the magazine.

he wants me to lube them up and clean them for him. i am willing and capable.

however, he has stated that he is interested, possibly, in selling them. which leads me to my questions: how much are these rifles worth? will lubing them up and running a patch down the barrel detract from the value?

TIA
