Not enough info. The number of digits can help, but you really need the whole serial number.
If you mean a Model 94 Winchester, it depends on whether it was pre-war, pre-1964, or other. You’ll have to clean it up well enough to read the serial #, or provide a photo.
Does it have a curved or straight butt plate? Is it wraparound? Is it a hooded or plain blade front sight? Those are a couple of hints to its age.
There are MANY variables:
Round or Hex barrel
Barrel length
Sights
Stock type & condition
Year manufactured
Looks like those with the number 2 as the first digit were made from 1953 through 1964 and can have a value somewhere in the $250.00 to $500.00 range, depending on condition. This advice is worth what you are paying for it.
I think it’s on the table next to the couch.

Mine is a 1956 vintage, looks pretty beat (well-used) but the barrel is still in fine shape.
Sometimes that knowledge comes in handy if you already know it. For example, I once came across a flea market vendor who was selling a good condition paperback edition of “Dune Encyclopedia” for $10 and the moment he told me the price I handed him the money. He must have been surprised at such an easy sale but I already knew the value and sold it days later on eBay for $90. I happened to know the value because a few months earlier I bought the first printing of the “Dune Encyclopedia” mint condition at the flea market for just a buck and was shocked when it sold on eBay for over $200 so I learned at that time what all the “Dune Encyclopedia” editions were worth.
Maybe you can sell it to someone in Canada. I hear they are the Jihadi’s weapon of choice there.
Take it to a gun dealer or pawn shop that deals in used guns. Let them make you an
offer and double it. Deal from that figure with a public buyer.
It’s worth ten dollars. If you were in the year 1894. :D ( sorry. Just kidding)
It’s worth $9.50. I’ll give you $10.00 and you can keep the change.
A neighbor has an 1894 30-30 which he bought many years ago, but is in good shape. He hasn’t used much, hasn’t been open to selling it, but doesn’t need it - has two dogs and a shotgun to keep eagles away from his chickens and 30-30 wouldn’t be first choice of firearm. I’m pondering offering him $250 for it.
Always Remember... Condition, Condition, Condition!!!
Don’t over clean your weapon..
“What’s it worth” is like the old pawnbroker joke about teaching a kid arithmetic. How much is two plus two? Depends. You buying, or selling?
How to tell the fair market value can take some work, but start with completed sales on gunbroker for guns of similar vintage and condition.
I just bought a 1949 Win ‘94 in .30 WCF (30-30) for $500.
Yours might sell for more or less depending on the seller and your local market.
