Just me, or does anyone else find it odd that an original 71 in good condition will not command more money than a reproduction made by Browning.

The Browning and later models are still worth the $1200-$1500 range depending on features but not much more.
A Winchester in equal condition (good or above) to the Browning will command more money, often a lot more money, in my neck of the desert. But once you drill holes in them, or beat them up, the prices come down for both and remain fairly equal.Grizzly Adams wrote:Just me, or does anyone else find it odd that an original 71 in good condition will not command more money than a reproduction made by Browning.

I think Winchester M71s in good "shooter" condition can still be found at gun shows for less than $1,000, especially if someone drilled 4 holes in the receiver to mount a scope, and many did just that.Boreman wrote:Every once in a while I scan Gunbroker just looking at the going asking prices of various leverguns.I was looking at the M-71's and almost fell out of my chair.Prices are out of sightPrices ran from $1400 to $4500 with most in the $2000 neighborhood and up,up and up!!!!!!!!!!!!

Outstanding shooters, actually.Sixgun wrote:Condition & rarity is everything on the originals. Brownings are great guns and shooters---that all
That's hard to say, a picture would help. Was the recoil pad installed correctly, was the stock cut, how does the checkering look? What kind of rear sight does it have on it?Windjammer wrote:I have a M71 Winchester Deluxe. Made in 1946. The bluing has some wear but looks good. Everything is as should be with the exception of a Pachmayr recoil pad. What would be a fair asking price for this gun?
