Gents:
I've been away from Winchesters since the late 1980s when I made the gradual transition to double rifles. So, I need some help. I have two Winchesters I want to dispose of. One is a reblued .405 1895 that was found abandoned in a trapper's cabin. The other is an 1886 extra light rifle, made about 1900 in .45-70. It is a deluxe model with a pistol grip and fancy wood with a half magazine. Receiver blue is gone but the blue on the barrels is excellent, as is the bore. The barrel is unique: it is not the standard extra light barrel but a "pencil thin" barrel. Some pits were polished off the top tang but the remainder of the rifle is fine. Where does one find a fair price for these two and where is the best place to sell them? I live in AK so that may or may not be an issue.I don't know how to post photos here but will with some help or PM me for pics.
Thanks for your help,guys.
Cal
