smokedawg SASS#60968 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I've got an older Marlin 1894 in .357/.38. it is a pre Remington model. I'm thinking about trading it off for something in .45 Colt. A lever gun is my first choice. What are the older ones worth now? What kinda rifle should i be looking at? I'm not really interested in a newer Rossi. Nothing wrong with it but i really don't want to do another cartridge. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 What's the first 2 numbers of the serial number? Without seeing detailed pics. Value is anybody's guess. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I like our Marlins. If you ever want to shoot B-Western, keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Curly Strait Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 First, condition is everything when it comes to establishing a fair-market value. Assuming it’s in 80%-90% NRA condition, it’s worth between $375 and $425 respectively, unless it’s a carbine manufactured between 1979 and 1984 without the manual hammer-block safety, according to Blue Book. However, the pre-Remington Marlins are experiencing higher than normal values in the open market. Pictures would certainly help in establishing fair-market value, as would the date of manufacture, but comparing what you have, against what has been recently sold online, would give you a better idea of its true FMV. Blue Book doesn’t reflect these aforementioned conditions. And value is both subjective to geography, and can only truly be measured by how much someone else is willing to pay. Advertised “Buy It Now” prices are often egregiously inflated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
