Shotguns

Remove buttplate. Use a socket extension and rachet to unscrew the stock bolt (it's in that hole in the center of the butt)

No age records, most likely a Mossberg shotgun, values $50-$75.

I do not believe that the serial numbers for the Winchester model 140 ranger,semi-auto shotgun are in the public domain.I can say that the Winchester model 1400 was made from 1964-1981,and this was the higher priced version of the model 140 ranger shotgun.

Seldom exceeds 100 USD or so

Probably nothing initially for a few times, but if you repeatedly do this, you may eventually wear out the spring that activates the firing pin or have the firing pin release too far out. There are devices called "snap caps" that fit into the chamber of the barrel and allow you to pull the trigger and release the firing pin into a small spring loaded portion of the snap cap. This is the best way to store your shotgun, with a snap cap in place and the trigger pulled releasing the firing pin into it.

Along with several other companies- yes.

This is the canned answer to the general question "how much is my gun worth".

There is no way that this can be determined via a description of the firearm because condition of the item is critical to its value. In addition, whether the gun is considered to be modern or antique will significantly affect not only its value but its saleability in some jurisdictions.

The steps necessary to assess a firearm are to first Clearly identify the manufacturer and model of the firearm along with serial number and significant features. Many people choose to not report the full serial number but instead disguise the least significant digits i.e. 1234XX. Features such as finish, barrel length, custom engraving or carving, and stock material may be significant. It may be useful to consult some of the books on gun values such as "The Official Gun Digest Book if Guns & Prices", the "Official Price Guide to Antique and Modern Firearms", the "Standard Catalog of Firearms", or "Flayderman's Guide to Antique American Firearms". All of these resources can provide information for identifying the firearm. The grading systems used to assign values are usually similar between the books although there can be differences. Once the firearm has been identified and condition determined, the "fair market value" can be assessed by consulting the internet market. AuctionArms.com and GunTrader.com can both provide input as to a gun's present market value. If gun shops and/or gun shows are available in your area, taking your gun in for professional inspection can be informative. Look for businesses or individuals who specialize or deal in that type of gun (take a Luger to a Luger collector rather than a shotgun collector). Remember that these people are in the business and will be looking for a "good deal" if one presents itself.

Guns, like everything else, usually aren't worth as much as we would like but they can have appreciable value.

Good luck.

If you have a 500, and it is a 12 gauge, it is a 500A. The "A" designates it as a 12ga. A 500B is a 16ga, a C is a 20ga, and an E is a .410.

To make either more or less spread of the ammo

50-150 dollars is the going price for a Noble shotgun.

Around 375 for excellent condition.

You can not use. Or should not use. The wad stays with shot exiting. I suggest improved cylinder or bore

not at all

Check the two digits following the serial number. I know it works on some of them.

i think that it can only hold 3 shells
