This gun has a 2 piece bolt - the back of the bolt with the handle and locking rib is separate from the bolt head and extractor. These two parts must be split in order to get the bolt out. This is easy.
Open the bolt and pull back until the rear of the bolt rib is in line with the back of the receiver. Turn down the rib 90 degrees to the right. Pull the bolt straight out. You will leave the bolt head still in the receiver. Pick up the bolt head and re-attach it to the bolt head by slipping it over the firing pin and turning the rear rib back into the vertical position. Reverse the operation to re assemble the bolt. (take off the bolt head - insert rear of bolt into receiver - add the front end with extractor lying on the receiver bed - turn rib to the top again.

Your Winchester model 1873 which was made in 1883,was a model 1873 third model which started at serial number 90,000.early model 1873,s were not marked for a caliber since they were chambered only for the 44-40 Winchester.I would say that your third model should be marked for caliber on the barrel just ahead of the receiver,and on the brass elevator.If there is any doubt I would have a good gunsmith take a chamber cast of the gun while determining if the rifle is in good enough condition to shoot.I would also look for the marking 44WCF on the places indicated.
the Marlin model 1894 rifle was made from 1894-1934 in the caliber that you have listed.The latter model rifles were marked model 94 as in your question.These will range in price from 250-750 dollars for rifles or carbines showing between 10%-50% of there original finish and a good bore.You may add 25% if it is a saddle ring carbine model.add 40% for a baby carbine with 18in barrel and a half magazine.I can say for certain that your rifle was not made in 1883,and was probably made after 1915 due to the marking model 94.
there are many things that determine the value of this rifle.the first item being that you have a Winchester mod 1876 third model that was made in 1883.second is the overall condition of the firearm.(is the finish worn away or does some still exist?).is the rifle complete and does it function? is the bore dark and pitted or bright with no pitting?is the stock complete,not broken and retain its original finish if any? as a guide this rifle could expect to fetch between 2,250-3,000 in above average finish down to 1,000-1,600 dollars in below average condition.
The 1883 22 caliber colt rifle is valued at $2,275 in excellent condition. I fair condition it is valued at $775.
