hi guys, im looking into buying a 1873 winchester. i am specifically looking for one manufactured before 1903. i have looked and found some but the prices are all different. i see prices ranging from $1200.00 - $37,000.00 " in fully restored condition" i am not looking for a fully restored 1873. i would like to find one that i could restore myself. if any of you guys could give me aball park figure thati should be spending so im not getting ripped off, i would appreciate it very much. thank you.
