Shotguns

Need to know which model.

Not enough information.

Recent import. Value is whatever someone will pay for a shooter, and depends on which model and condition.

-- Savage 340 as made for Western Auto -- We have new magazines for that model. sales@countrygunsmith.net

Should be a Browning Citori Lightning, Grade 1, 20ga, with 3" chambers, made in 1992. sales@countrygunsmith.net

Depends on shootability and condition. Early 16ga shotguns like yours tend to have 2 9/16" chambers which can cause problems with modern 2 3/4" ammunition. Value can range from under $100 to around $400. sales@countrygunsmith.net

Open the action and on the receiver flat will be the serial number and another number denoting the grade. Need all of that information, as well as some digital pictures to determine condition. sales@countrygunsmith.net

Exactly how is the gun marked so we can identify what you actually have. sales@countrygunsmith.net

c.1900-1930. There is no model number. These were hardware catalog shotguns and value is going to top out at $100. sales@countrygunsmith.net

Basically the Winchester Model 1200 as built for Sears. Value under $200, made in the 1960's-1970's. sales@countrygunsmith.net

Marketed to hardware/catalog stores prior to 1930. sales@countrygunsmith.net

c.1893-1905. Value is going to depend on condition. Typical guns have been sold in the $250 range, but can go higher with unordinary features, engraving, etc. High condition guns are very rarely found since these were marketed as working-class guns. sales@countrygunsmith.net

Those later Model 24's are bringing around $250 in excellent condition.

Start with the information stamped on the gun. Usually there will be a manufacturer's name or a trade name and a model name or number. Guns manufactured in Europe will usually have proof marks. With this information you can search various books available at your library: Flayderman's Guide to Antique American Firearms, The Standard Catalog of Firearms, Modern Guns, etc. Or you can post a description that includes all the information you found on the gun on a website like this and someone will probably recognize it.

Please provide the information exactly as it stamped on the gun so we can properly identify it. sales@countrygunsmith.net

Under $100. sales@countrygunsmith.net

The Stevens doubles in .410 can reach over $500 in excellent condition. sales@countrygunsmith.net

Crystal ball says you have a post-64 Winchester Model 70 made for Sears. If so, value is about $300-$400 in top condition.

Those early Belgian guns are generally considered wall hangers. Most have a form of twisted-wire barrel construction. If yours is actually 'Fine Damascus' and not actually laminated steel, and if the engraving is better than typical it might bring $200-$300. If it is the standard JABC (just another Belgian clunker) it will top out at $150 as a mantel decoration.

1940, give or take a year. Value depends on what configuration (field, skeet, trap, heavy duck, solid rib, vent rib, etc), originality (all matching, no aftermarket choke device, pad or rib) and actual condition.
