What is the value of a Browning Sweet Sixteen?
This is a very popular question. The reader should know a few things about Sweet Sixteens to identify their own Sweet 16 to determine value.
American Shooters have had a love affair with The Sweet Sixteen since it's introduction to the public in 1937. A Sweet Sixteen is the Lightweight Version of the Browning 16 guage Auto-5 Shotgun. Not all 16 guage Automatics are Sweet 16's; There is a Standard weight that was imported by Browning and stayed in the Auto-5 line from 1923 until 1964. The Sweet 16 was made in Belgium from 1936 until 1976. Sweet 16's were discontinued when Auto-5 Production moved to Japan in 1976. Browning reintroduced the Sweet Sixteen (Japanese production) in 1987 and was produced until 1992.
"How to tell if you have a Standard or a Sweet 16." All Sweets will be marked "Sweet Sixteen" on the left side of the receiver from 1949 and on. Prior to 1949, the easiest way to tell is that a Sweet 16 has a gold trigger and the barrel has three holes drilled through the barrel band; Standard 16's do not have these features. (If you have a Standard 16 ga and not a Sweet, keep reading)
Value will depend on which model of Sweet (Belgian or Japan) Condition, Originality, and age. "How do I know if I have a Belgian or Japanese Sweet 16?" The markings on the Barrel will identify place of manufacture, but if a barrel has been replaced, the serial number and code (on the bottom of the receiver) will help identify. You can ask for the age on WikiAnswers or go the Browning Web site to date your gun.
Pre-war Auto-5 Sweet 16's are very collectable in original condition. Recoil Pads and Poly Chokes will hurt the value of any Sweet 16. Guns made up until 1952 have the front trigger safety, and are not too popular as shooters. Most users want the cross bolt safety, therefore the earlier guns in less than 80-90% condition do not command the same prices as later Sweets.
All Sweets had round knobs until 1967 as standard. 1967 to 1976 had the flat or "square knobs". Many buyers are split on preferring the round knob or flat knobs. They both seem to sell equally as well.
So now if you have identified your Sweet, lets look at Condition. Up to about 95% of original finish, these guns should sell well based on the scale of the Blue Book of Gun Values. Above 95%, they really have been selling for premium prices the last several years. These prices for Belgian mint and near new guns have sold for double what the book value has been. Used Japanese guns are usually lower in value, but the mint Japanese guns match up to the Belgians in price.
So how much are we talking?
Older pre 50's guns in 80-95% would be appraised between $350-$700
Sweets from the 1950's - 1976 up to 95% typically between $450 to $900
Any Sweet that is near new (98% or better) to mint in the Box can command $1500+ in the right market. Some have sold as high as $2500, but this is for exceptional mint guns. A vent rib may help the price on an older model over 95% condition, but most of the 60's and 70's guns have vented ribs. It doesn't make that much difference in the sellers price.
So where does a Standard Weight 16 fit in? It's pretty close to actual Blue Book numbers, but the real mint guns drop off from reaching as high as the Sweet Sixteens. A 1960 mint in the box Standard might sell from $1200-$1500 while a MIB 1960 Sweet will sell for $500 or more - than the Standard.
Keep in mind that there are a lot of Sweets on the market, and whether you set the price or a Gun Shop appraises it for you, when it comes time to sell, it may take a while, especially for guns well used.

What is the year and value of a Browning Light 12 serial number 82624?
it is a 1930 model don't know value. Serial number 82624 12ga Browning A-5 was actually made in 1926. It was not a Lightweight 12. Light 12 models did not come on the market until 1947 and a few years later before the script engraving was added. If your gun says Light 12 on the legend of the receiver, then you are missing the letter above 82624 or or preceding it. Value cannot be determined without knowing the correct year and condition.
What is value of Harrington Richardson 410 handy gun made around 1919 or 1920?
H&R manufactured the Handy Gun from about 1924 to 1933. It is important to know that the smoothbore versions are classified as NFA firearms and must be registered with BATFE. If it has not been registered, it is illegal to own and cannot now be registered. If it is a legal Handy Gun it is worth $400-$600 depending on condition and configuration.
Realistic retail of $250-$300. These post-64 Winchester rifles are currently experiencing inflated pricing because of the closure of the USRAC plant in New Haven and the possibility that no more will be made. If you can find the right buyer, you might get considerably more. sales@countrygunsmith.net

You can call Remington direct at 1-800-243-9700 and they can assist you with values.You can look up the serial number and age of this gun by the date code on the left side of the barrel, The Remington home page will tell you which model (trap, riot, special, etc) but unless it is highly engraved it is only worth a few hundred dollars. ($100.00 to $250.00) Depending on condition.
What is the value of a Browning 7MM made in Belgium with the numbers 8L-47828 on it?
Your rifle was made in 1968 at FN Belgium. What grade is the rifle? The 1968 gun law forced Browning to start using the "L" in all of the long action rifles. It is difficult to know what grade a person may have based soley upon the serial number. For example, in 1967 the Safari Grade had the "L", the Medallion Grade had the "X" and the Olympian Grade had a "P". From 1968 until the end of production in 1975, the long action rifles had an "L" in all of the long action rifles (.300 Win, .308 Norma, .338, .458, .375 and 7 mm). Your Browning has a factory pad. It could be a short or long extractor as in 1968 Browning went to the short extracor, but still had some excess receivers left in the long extractor configuration. The long extractor is worth a little more money. Browning made a lot of 7 mm Bolt Actions (approx 8200 total and about 439 in 1968), so they are not as sought after from a collectors stand point. Your rifle may also have a salt wood stock. Numerous rifles have been produced under the Browning trade name over the years. 7mm is the caliber, and 8L-47828 is the serial number. To answer your question, you need all of the markings from the rifle, including the model number and place of manufacture (e.g., Belgium, Japan, etc.). In any event, for a gun with collectors' value, the most important element is condition. Without all of that information, no value can be estimated.
Do miroku-made browning shotguns eg bss sidelock have higher value than the miroku brand?
In the book I'm looking at, it doesn't distinguish between the 2. (I'm not that familiar, just looking in a book (gun list standard catalog of firearms) sidenote- It says your BSS sidelock (and there are several different types of BSS guns) was actually manufactured in Korea b/t 1983 and 1987. Miroku produced guns were imported and produced by a variety of companies such as Charles Daley, Browning, Winchester, and SKB. No actual guns are listed Miroku B.C. brand guns. If one gun says Browning made in Japan, and the other gives the Miroku brand name on the gun, but both are made for Browning, then I think you just are looking at different production years. Hope this helps. -Rick Yes. The sidelock is recognized as a better action than a boxlock. Also, the boxlock came in a plain field grade while the sidelock came with better wood and engraving.
Did Remington Arms purchase the over under shotguns and if so what is their model?

What is the value of the Remington shotgun that is on a Browning patient?
You are referring to, I assume, the model 11 or Sportsman. Remington produced these guns under the Browning patent in the United States during the 1940s. I am looking for an answer to a similar question and I have not gotten an answer yet, but from people I have talked to I am told that good condition gun would fetch somewhere in the $250-$350 range, depending. From a collector or resale standpoint, it seems that Browning A-5's held their value more compared to the Remingtons.
What are model 37 steelbilt 12 20 and 410 gauge shotguns in very good to excellent condition worth?
-- Answer -- The question refers to the Winchester Model 37 single-shot. In the Winchester 37, the .410 is worth more than the 12ga or 20ga. The 'red letter' versions bring a premium (red coloring in the 'Winchester' markings). The larger bore shotguns will bring $200-$250, the .410 at $350 maybe $400 if really really nice. sales@countrygunsmith.net

What is the value of a Browning Citori Plus trap gun?
I bought a Citori Plus, in a combo set, which included a 34" trap barrel and the O/U barrel, plus the case. I bought it new about 8 years ago for $2400. I would think you could get around $1500 for the plus model, non combo set, if it is in very good condition, less if it has been "used".
If gun is mint and never fired - then you could reasonably expect $1500 - $2000 auto5man
What is a 6MM Browning pistol made in Belgium worth?

How much is a Ruger Red label over and under 28 gauge shotgun in mint condition worth?
My rough estimate would be $950 - $1000. That seems to be what they are going for at gun shows in southern Illinois. If the gun is engraved, that would add to its value. You can purchase a new Red Label 28 gauge for $1150 from Walmart (see their website for details).
Where can you find the manufacture date value ect for an Excel 12 gauge shotgun serial 357238xg?
This trade name was used by both Crescent Fire Arms and Iver Johnson. If it is a single shot, it will be worth $35 to $75, and if a double barrel shotgun, from $100 to $250, depending on condition.
