What is the value of a Thompson Center Arms 54 caliber percussion cap Renegade Model 7404 muzzle loader?

Answer 1

The most accurate way to have your T/C appraised is to bring to an actual appraisor. If your not fortunate enough to have one on speed dial (as most of us) then you can have it just as accurately priced at a dealer or gunshop. Auctions can also provide numbers but they can also be missleading. Two men walk intop the auction hall with each's eye set on that one gun, one say 2! The next 4! And before you know it your at 10!!! Just because its worth a million to him doesnt mean it really IS. I suppose you could have it appraised via internet but it is always better for the pricer to see it in person. this way they can observe and dings or niks that a photo may have neglected to display. BUT! Seeing it in person can also prove to be beneficial for you. Your gun may have some tiny detail that the camera didnt catch that could make it a one of a kind and worth more. Now that todays lesson is over I mine as well tell you FINALLY that your gun is only going to be worth $160 to a dealer but mabee more at an auction or to some dim witted chum who you can manage to swinddle (BUT I dont condone this, of course unless he deserves it). Fun Fact: If shooting at a downhill slope from atop the hill, aim slightly lower. this will prove accurate due to the difference in the gravitaional pull on your projectile because of the change in gravity. More Vertical Tilt=Less Gravity. (compensation)
