Gun values · measured from the auction record
What does a Winchester sell for at auction?
These price comparisons use 7,655 sales of individual Winchesters at Rock Island Auction Company, Morphy Auctions, Poulin Auctions, Redding Auction Services, and Amoskeag Auction Company, from Sep 2023 to Sep 2026. Each sale was for one gun. The figures show what buyers paid and can help you compare prices for the same model. They do not tell you exactly what your gun is worth.
Typical prices, model by model

Models marked (5 yrs) had too few sales in the last three years, so their figures cover five years of sales.
C&R means “curio and relic,” a collector category that usually includes guns at least 50 years old. These groups follow the auction company’s listing at the time of sale. Poulin writes its category at the end of each lot description, and we read it for each Poulin sale used here. When a Poulin lot shows no category (3 of them here), we place it by the gun's age. Redding prints no category either. We use the year of manufacture its description states, or the model's age when every gun of that model is 50 years old or more; a Redding sale with neither is left out. “Antique” here means made before 1899; see the pre-1899 guide. A price group does not confirm the legal status of your gun. We leave out modern reissues of models whose original production ended more than 50 years ago.
Models with only a few sales
These models had fewer than 40 single-gun sales, too few for a typical price. Each model’s page lists every sale we counted. Here are the lowest and highest prices.

With so few sales, one gun in unusual condition can set the low or the high. Military trench, riot, and sniper guns are listed on the model page but left out of these figures.
What is included in these prices?
- Each included auction lot contains one gun. We exclude groups of guns, parts, and accessories, and listings described as deluxe, special-order, engraved, restored, commemorative, or linked to a famous owner. Title filters miss some of those, so a few unusual guns still remain. Rare features and documented ownership history can change a gun’s value. What deluxe and special-order features look like → Commemoratives have their own page.
- Guns are grouped as antique, curio and relic, or modern, using the auction company’s category at the time of sale. Military trench, riot, and sniper versions are kept out of those groups; where there are enough, they get their own version row. Redding prints no category, so its guns are grouped by the year of manufacture its description states, or by the model’s age when every gun of that model is 50 years old or more.
- A price row needs at least 20 sales. The middle 50% leaves out the lowest quarter and highest quarter of prices. The middle 80% leaves out the lowest tenth and highest tenth. “Typical price” is the median, the middle price in the group. When more than one auction company has enough sales, the model page also shows each company’s typical price. Those figures can differ because the houses tend to sell different guns.
- Prices include the buyer’s premium, the auction company’s extra fee, where the house charges one. Redding charges none, so its price is what the buyer paid. They exclude tax, shipping, and other costs. They are not the seller’s proceeds. Wear and changes to original parts can explain large price differences.
We show a model’s prices when at least 40 individual guns sold during the period covered. With fewer, but at least 5, the model page lists each sale and its price instead. If a price depends on a gun’s original features, a factory letter may help document them. The gun also needs to be examined for later changes.

Questions
What is my Winchester worth?
Prices depend on age, condition, original parts, and special features. Enter a serial number on a model page to highlight the price group for its possible dates. Recent sales are matched by that age group; they may differ from your gun in caliber, version, and condition.
Do these prices include the buyer's premium?
Yes, where the house charges one. The prices include the buyer's premium, an extra fee the auction company adds to the winning bid. Redding Auction Services charges no buyer's premium, so its price is simply what the buyer paid. All prices exclude costs such as tax and shipping, and none is the amount the seller receives.
Why might my gun sell for a different price?
Wear, repairs, replaced parts, rare features, and documented history can raise or lower a price. These tables group completed sales after dropping obvious deluxe, engraved, and commemorative listings. They do not assess the condition or features of your gun.
How do these compare with Blue Book gun values?
A price guide estimates values for guns in different conditions. These tables summarize completed sales at 5 auction companies. Use them as another comparison, then account for the condition and features of the gun you are pricing.
Is this an appraisal?
No. These are auction price comparisons. An appraisal considers your particular gun, including its condition, original parts, and history. A dealer's purchase offer or a private sale price may differ from an auction result.
Which models are priced?
We show prices for 40 models that had at least 40 single-gun sales during the period covered. For 33 more models with at least 5 sales, the model page lists each sale instead of a typical price. Other model pages still show their serial-number records.
