Both chambered in .30-30. 24" NRA commemorative made in 1971 and a 16" Saddle Ring Trapper made in 1982.

My dad had the NRA commemorative. Unfortunately as for collector value, he had it tapped for a scope mount. How is the bore finish on yours? I thought the one on dad's looked awful for a factory gun. It had tool marks.
I haven't noticed any tool marks in mine. It's definitely more than accurate enough for whitetail. I typically shoot 170gr.

Mine wouldn't have any collector value as it has spent a lot of time in the field and has the wear to prove it.

I bought mine used and set up as it is now. I don't know if they were originally tapped for a tang sight or if a previous owner had it tapped. It has a Lyman sight, the factory barrel mounted rear sight was removed and a Marbles barrel blank installed.

It might be my favorite lever action rifle that I own.

I've always admired the Model 63 type 94's with the half magazine and rifle length barrel. If Dad's had had a good bore, I probably would have kept it and used it for cast bullet loads. My niece has it now.
