Shotguns

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.

Mossberg

Need a detailed description to answer.

To appraise a shotgun like this, one would need the gun to examine & that appraisal would run about $200.00 to $250.00.

Not at this time. It would be nice to see a semi-automatic version made available for the public. The BATFE has also greatly over-stepped their power and declared other 12 gauge "military" looking shotguns to be regulated as destructive devices. Examples included the Cobray Stryker "aka Street Sweeper" and the SPAS 12 gauge. This may be a reason why the company hasn't planned a public release.

The Mossberg model 183D was made from 1948-1985.These shotguns are valued at between 75-110 dollars.

what is a revalation 12 gauge auto worth in poor condition

That sounds very much like a subcontracted "house brand" to me, and it's kind of hard to know specifically which company had the contract, but it you were to guess either "Harrington and Richards" or "Savage", odds are about 90% you'd have guessed one or the other as right.

The mossberg Model 88 maverick can definitely shoot slugs and with fair accuracy too with the un-rifled stock barrel. Try the Winchester Super X 2 1/2 inch 1 oz. But hang on to it or it will hurt you. The recoil is roughly doubled.

I might be able to help but I need to know if it is hammer or hammerless. Also, how does the gun lock up, with a top lever on top or a push-up lever in front of the trigger guard. Also, can you describe the butt plate if it is an original.

Ask the question again and put this information in it.

Bettinsoli make them. There are a very nice gun. Its rare to find them on the market as they werent mass produced, snap it up while you can.

Davidson Firearms of Greensboro NC imported shotguns in about the mid 1960s. ABOUT $150-$200, depending on exact model and condition. Nice boxlock guns from Eibar Spain.

Union began as the Colton Manufacturing Company in 1893 in Toledo, Ohio. The name was changed to Union Fire Arms in 1905. They were bought out by Toledo Arms in 1913, and in 1916, Toledo Arms was bought by Savage. They made predominantly shotguns. You can probably assume yours was made between 1905 and 1913. DO NOTfire modern shotgun ammunition in it unless it has been inspected by a competent gunsmith first. It may bring a good price from a collector, if you want to sell it.

Since a new utility grade single shot only costs about $80, they bring $50-$75 second-hand.

No not to my knowledge but Winchester did.

2 to 5 lbs never put one on a scale but that's what it fells like to me roughly

In short, it is a barrel designed to fire slugs. Some are smooth bore which are intended to shoot rifled slugs or buckshot, while others are rifled and intended for shooting sabot slugs only.

This is a very good and trusted answer.
