What is the age and value of a 348 Winchester model 71 serial 33298?

Answer 1

With the serial number that you have provided,your Winchester model 71 lever action rifle was made in the year 1952.The first rifle serial number for the year 1952 was 33226.So you can see that yours was made early on in the year 1952.As to the value of your Winchester model 71,there are many things that come into play when assigning a certain value to a collectable Winchester rifle!I would need to know the extent of original finish remaining on your rifle,the bore condition and if you have a deluxe version of the model 71(checkered wood,sling swivels,bolt peep sight,to name a few)or if it is a standard version without the above named features.A ballpark figure of value would be between 800-2,000 dollars depending on prices seen in gunshops,the internet gun sales sites,etc.I hope this helps?
