During the Winchester Model 9422’s 33-year production run—from 1972 through 2005—the well-built and extremely accurate .22 rimfire lever-action embodied our ongoing admiration for the American West and filled the need for an economical look-alike of its big-bore Model 94 counterpart. It’s unsurprising then that the 9422 became one of the most popular rifles in Winchester’s lineup.
Serial number 1 of Winchester’s 9422 was given to long-time Winchester employee Bill Kelley upon his retirement in 1972, and by 1991 more than 600,000 guns had been produced. The rifle sported a forged receiver and straight-grip walnut stock, a 20½-inch barrel, a semi-buckhorn rear sight and a bead-and-post front sight, and it weighed 6 pounds—a half-pound lighter than the Model 94. Of course, mechanically it was an entirely different gun and featured a tubular magazine that could hold 15 rounds of .22 Long Rifle, 17 rounds of .22 Long or 21 rounds of .22 Short. There was also a 9422M version that held 11 rounds of .22 WMR. A later variation, the Model 9217, was chambered for the .17 HMR.
Its features included a solid-top receiver grooved for scope mounts, angled ejection (even before the Model 94 had it), a hammer with a detachable thumb extension for use with an attached scope, and a much-favored half-cock instead of the 94’s rebounding hammer. In addition, the 9422 had a take-down feature—loosening a screw on the left side of the receiver enabled the rifle to be separated into two parts. Checkering was added in 1980, and an XTR version with high-polish bluing and checkered fancy walnut stocks was produced from 1978 until 1989.
In 1981, Olin licensed the Winchester name and manufacturing to U.S. Repeating Arms Co., which subsequently produced a number of commemoratives, plus large-loop and pistol-grip variations. In 1987, a .22 WMR WinCam version was offered with synthetic stocks, and in 1996 a 16½-inch-barreled Trapper was introduced.
In 100-percent, new-in-box condition, non-commemorative guns typically fetch around $750. This 90-percent 9422M XTR has some issues, most noticeably with some unsightly rust on the tang and the mottled bluing on the Weaver Marksman 4X scope. As such, in its otherwise NRA Very Good Condition, it would probably fetch around $400 to $450—still not bad for a high-grade .22 that retailed for $190.95 back in 1979.
The Winchester Model 1894 rifle (also known as the Winchester 94 or Model 94) is a lever-action repeating rifle that became one of the most famous and popular hunting rifles of all time. It was designed by John Browning in 1894 and originally chambered to fire two metallic black powder cartridges, the.32-40 Winchester and.38-55 Winchester.

Valuing a Model 94 is similar to pricing used (or antique) cars.A five year old Chevy with only a few hundred miles on it will sellcloser to the price of a new one than one with 100,000 miles evenif both still look nearly new. And chosing between two 100K cars,the one that was garaged and had regular maintenance will bringmuch more than one with fading paint, torn seat covers, oil leaks,and crumpled fenders. With the serial number there are severalsources to find out what year a Winchester was manufactured, butthat is only the beginning of determining its value. Any firearmmade before Midnight, 31 December 1898, is legally an antique inthe US and that usually increases the value significantly.Winchesters made before 1964 are valued by collectors if they havea high percentage of original finish while newer ones and thosewith significant wear are valued for their usefulness. There areseveral general configurations of the 94: standard rifle, carbine,saddle-ring carbine, trapper carbine, etc., with round or octagonalbarrels. Then there are special order features like non-standardbarrel lengths or special sights. The 94 was chambered for avariety of cartridges and collectors will pay more for unusual onesbut often less for obsolete chamberings for which ammunition is nolonger available. Of course a shooter will have absolutely NOinterest in a gun chambered for something like .44 rimfire as itwould essentially be unusable. A collector will want a gun that hasnot been modified since it left the factory, and for a fee the CodyMuseum will research the old records and give a letter stating theexact original configuration, when it was manufactured, andsometimes when and where it was shipped from the factory. Someonewho wants to use the gun will be less concerned about itsoriginality and any difference may be a plus for one and a minus toanother. The primary concern to either a collector or a shooterwill be the CONDITION. Any buyer will want the gun to be as closeto new condition as possible.
