This is the canned answer to the general question "how much is my gun worth".
There is no way that this can be determined via a description of the firearm because condition of the item is critical to its value. In addition, whether the gun is considered to be modern or antique will significantly affect not only its value but its saleability in some jurisdictions.
The steps necessary to assess a firearm are to first Clearly identify the manufacturer and model of the firearm along with serial number and significant features. Many people choose to not report the full serial number but instead disguise the least significant digits i.e. 1234XX. Features such as finish, barrel length, custom engraving or carving, and stock material may be significant. It may be useful to consult some of the books on gun values such as "The Official Gun Digest Book if Guns & Prices", the "Official Price Guide to Antique and Modern Firearms", the "Standard Catalog of Firearms", or "Flayderman's Guide to Antique American Firearms". All of these resources can provide information for identifying the firearm. The grading systems used to assign values are usually similar between the books although there can be differences. Once the firearm has been identified and condition determined, the "fair market value" can be assessed by consulting the internet market. AuctionArms.com and GunTrader.com can both provide input as to a gun's present market value. If gun shops and/or gun shows are available in your area, taking your gun in for professional inspection can be informative. Look for businesses or individuals who specialize or deal in that type of gun (take a Luger to a Luger collector rather than a shotgun collector). Remember that these people are in the business and will be looking for a "good deal" if one presents itself.
Guns, like everything else, usually aren't worth as much as we would like but they can have appreciable value.
Good luck.

Does anyone know the value of a used winchester 72A Rifle?
Best to ask a gunsmith for assistance.
buy providing the serial number with this question,I could answer that for you.
Manufactured before 1968. No serial number was required. Many of Winchester mass produced .22 rifles did not have one.
This question would be better directed to a qualified gunsmith.The .22 magnum round is operating at a higher pressure then the regular .22 long rifle cartridge.He would be better able to know if the Winchester model 72A could with stand the higher pressure involved with this rechambering.
I can say that the Winchester model 72,and 72A were made from 1938-1943(40,566) were made and after World war II another 120,434 rifles were made from 1946-1949.The only difference in the 2 rifles were that the model 72A had a swept back bolt handle and some minor internal improvements.Winchester did not serial number these rifles and keep records of production,other than what I have stated.Both models were produced at the same time,but the original model 72 was made first for a few years.The answer is the model 72.
It is about 2,500 USD, it is a "collection" model, to my mind the Model 72 is nearly the epitome of the bolt-action .22 LR. The trigger is more than adequate and the stock is comfortable in both carrying and shooting. Complete with the factory peep sight, this gun has taken numerous squirrels and rabbits, more than a few groundhogs and given many years of pleasure to two generations. Expecting this information will help.
4a - 72a + 1 = -68a + 1 and that cannot be simplified further.
