Waht to look for in a pre64 94?

Find the SN and look up when it was made here.

Not all pre-64's are equal. Many overpay because they think any pre-64 has a lot of collectors value. And many sellers think so too. The pre-64's are better built guns, but most only bring a small premium over post 64's. Rare chamberings or configurations being the exception.

If it was made in the 1940's or older then I'd pay a premium. Much newer, and you should be able to buy a good working rifle for less than a new Marlin sells for.

If you find it is an older gun, get as much info as possible and get back with another post. Small details and condition can mean a big difference in value on the really old rifles.
