What kind is it? Legacy/Trails End/Ranger/Trapper/Compact.

The name is printed on the label at the end of the box.

I have that very rifle myself. Neat little gun.

Check the various auction sites and you 'll get an idea.

Pekin Gun in Pekin Il had one a few months ago for $599.00. That was a used gun with a peep sight.

Well, one of my college room mates - Mike Garlisch was from Pekin.

I bought a Trails end .357 that looks brand new last week for $300. I think I got lucky! Trigger was terrible at 7.5 lbs, I stoned the sear and cleaned up the hammer hook a bit and it's now right at 4 lbs. I ordered a couple trigger stop springs and hammer mainsprings from Browning and when they get here I will try and get down to the high 2 lb range. The gun is strictly a plinker and cast bullet silhouette gun at the local range.

Welcome to the Forum, retmech. I'd love to see some pics of the trigger stop spring installation and a new report after you get them installed. Don't want hi-jack the thread, but... I have to ask, is that still the "rebounding" hammer setup, or have you swapped it out for the "half-cock" type?

It's the rebounding hammer Griff. I'm new at this levergun thing (although I've been casting loading and shooting for over 35 yrs) so I don't know anthing about swapping parts in 94's. My guess is that the older 94 setup would be easier to do and probably a better trigger.
