I have had a model 94 octagon barrel that I bought 40 years ago from a guy that had never fired it, it has been in my gun cabinet for forty years and still never had a cartridge put in it. The serial number is 30000--5, my question is, is it stupid to think that this gun is going up in value just because it has never been fired? Plus after looking it over carefully, all of those years I the gun cabinet have probably not been any kinder than the rifles that I have been using and actually got cleaned and oiled more often. It was supposed to have been some sort of special edition at the time that I bought it .
At 70 years old I am starting to think about some of my rifles and how much sense does it make for me to continue to keep them if I am not shooting them.
Another that I will post info and pictures of is a model 1884 octagon barrel 32 wcf that my uncle left me, will do it later. Thanks
