I have a Colt 6920. I’m thinking of trading it for a mint Winchester 94AE .44 Mag Trapper (16” barrel). Would you do it?

Not me but does it matter what I'd do?

 

[SigFTW]

I wouldn't, but that's just me.

 

[Idontplaynice]

Ok fair enough.

 

[FullClip]

Not this week...

 

[Hank Was Right]

Only if I had multiple ARs and no .44 lever guns.

 

[tacticaljoey]

I wouldnt

Why do adults need to ask others what to do for something as trivial as a gun trade ? Decide if you will use the lever gun for something other than taking up safe space or are you afraid of the current ar15 outrage . Then trade or not as its your choice

 

[yellolab]

Given the current political climate, I would not trade an AR.

 

[Wishoot]

I have both.

While I believe the Colt is worth more, my 94 gets much more use.

As stated above however, I'd hang on to your AR. The future of evil black rifle ownership is murky at best.

No way Jose

Because, sometimes when you are on the fence about something it good to bounce off the questions to like-minded people.

:agree:

 

[Road Dog]

Honestly on most trades its more about if its worth it to you. If the Winchester is a cross bolt safety I would definitely keep the AR.

 

[hardluk1]

SigFTW If the OP is on the fence then that means he really does not need it .

A mint 94AE Trapper will bring $900-1000 on gunbroker. Here's a link to one similar to mine, but not even in mint condition, that sold for $950.

Pre-safety?

 

[rds95991]

Depends.

For shooting, the 1894 was designed for a rifle cartridge and downsized for a pistol cartridge. While this worked well for the downsize of the 1886 to the 1892, I don't think it worked as well for the 1894. It feels chunky and I don't think very many use 1894's in SASS preferring 1873's, 1892's, and Marlin 1894's.

As far a collectability, there are so many AR type weapons (for now) vs 1894's in 44 magnum.

 

[Trench Sweeper]

Nope

A handy, pistol-caliber carbine is hard to beat IMO. That said, to echo other posters, if the Colt is your only AR I'd hang onto it. If not, I'd make that trade in a second.
