I have the chance to buy an original winchester 1873 in fair condition. cal 44-40 the bore is dark and has some pitting. it is also missing the butt metal cover. it can be had for 500.00 is this a good deal or is it junk.
 
Depends on what you will do with it.
Find a buttplate, have the barrel relined, and shoot CAS? Great.
Resell it to somebody who plans to do so?
Part it out?
 
With even rusted relics going to $1500, I would say that it is a bargain. Make sure it is original, though, some artfully aged repros have been seen around.
