What is the age of a J Stevens Arms and Tool Co 22 lr serial p909?

J Stevens Arms & Tool Co was the barrel marking used from 1886-1916, so that's as close as we can get without knowing the model of the rifle. sales@countrygunsmith.net

What is the value of a Springfield Model 67F 20 gauge pump shotgun?

Not sure about yours but mine is priceless. It was my uncle's and it still fires reliably. Your probably looking at about a $100 if it's in half way decent shape.

What is the value of a Savage Model 775A 12 gauge shotgun?

Not much collector interest in these, plus it doesn't help that most offered for sale have been absolutely beat to hell. If in truly excellent condition, maybe $250. In typical condition we see these, about $150.

What is the value of a 38 Smith and Wesson Special Ctg with SW Springfield Mass USA patented Feb 6 6 Sept14 09 Dec 29 14 on top of the barrel serial 608121 with a star at the end?

S&W Military & Police Model of 1905, 4th Change. Made in the mid to late 1930's. The star indicates the gun was returned to the factory for some major rework - most of the time indicating a factory refinish but could also mean a new cylinder or barrel, etc. Look underneath the grips and you may find a 3 or 4 digit number indicating the month and year of the rework. Value is going to depend on condition. The factory refinish (if that was the rework) does not hurt this model. Depending on condition, it would sell from $125-$350. If you have the 2" barrel model (rare), it would add another 50%. sales@countrygunsmith.net

Where is the model number located on a old Remington 12 gauge shotgun?

First what type of shotgun is it? i.e. side by side, over under, auto loading... E. Remington and Sons began making side by side guns in the 1870s If this is an antique your best bet is to take it to an expert or to send a detailed description to one. Otherwise, modern pump / auto models are stamped on the right side of the receiver and the manufacture code is on the barrel.

What is the value of a J Stevens Model 1078 single shot breech loading 12 gauge shotgun?

What is the value of a 284 Remington Model 760 clip fed bolt action rifle?

The Remington Model 760 was not chambered in .284 Winchester, so I am unsure what caliber you are referring to. sales@countrygunsmith.net

Where can you find information about an old single barrel breakdown J Stevens Arms Company Chicopee Falls Mass marked Made in US Stevens the Fully Guaranteed Single Gun 12 Gauge?

What is the value of a 1929 Eastern Arms 12 gauge single shot shotgun?

Does the 22 long rifle J Stevens Favorite only shoot 22 long rifle cartridges?

AnswerTypically a 22LR firearm will also fire 22 Long and 22 Shorts without issue. The issue is that magazine fed firearms usually only feed reliably with the cartridges that they are designed for.

The Stevens Favorite is a single shot rifle designed to shoot .22 Long Rifle cartridges only. The reason for this is the other cartridges are too short to use in this rifle, as damage to the extractor will result. The .22 Long Rifle cartridge will fit on the open extractor and ride into the chamber with the extractor, as the breech block is closed. Shorter cartridges, such as the Short, Long, CB Cap and BB Cap are not able to fit on the extractor, thus will be placed directly into the chamber. When the breech block is closed, the extractor will be pressed into the rim of the cartridge, causing the extractor to either break or be bent out of shape. Since these are vintage guns, parts are difficult to replace, once damaged.

What is the age and value of a 22 caliber The Sportsman bolt action Model 341 p rifle serial 36476?

I have had 4 Remington 341's. The three were purchased within the last two years. The 341 Sportmaster is a rifle I carried as a youth (traded away at the time, because who cared about them 35 years ago? Not me. Since then I have purchased three of them. The first was a 341 Sportmaster in very nice condition at the local gun shop for $220. The stock was in very nice original finish and the barrel was a burnished color from age. All original, I was very satisfied.

The second was a 341P I purchased from Manders in Christ Church, NZ, without a pic, just a description from him. What a project! Beware of him and beware of buying something that you can't see at least in a picture from all angles. It ended up costing me $650 with the purchase, transport, customs, storage, gas, etc. What a rip! My local gun smith actually redid the bluing and stock and it came out fairly nice, but far from 'original' condition. Had it remained in original condition you and I would not have wanted any part of it. I should mention that my gun smith did all of the work for nothing. Why? I'm a good customer and he is a prince of a guy. He truly felt sorry for me.

The last one cost $200 and was worth it. The guy selling was not the original owner, but had the original cardboard box, twine (the box was held together with twine when delivered) and front sight parts and their packaging. The stock had been redone and not very well, but was not dented up like you would expect. The bluing was very nice indeed! Not perfect, but well maintained by the owners along the way. What great respect for a very limited and fine shooting piece. My plan is to have the stock professionally refinished. I'm a carpenter with some skill, but no match for someone who trully knows what he is doing. It's the only way to go on such a classic rifle. They are not impossible to find, and at a reasonable price. It's kind of like they are a little below the radar screen for collectors, but very collectable in my opinion. Just think, made for only 4 yrs.,very accurate for their time and now. Keep an out and don't pay too much! Good luck and good shooting! Join the NRA and buy a membership for someone else! They are the only barrier between the grabbers and your rights.

The Sportmaster 341 was manufactured and sold by Remington from 1936 to 1940 with a total production of just over 131,000 so yours is going to be at least 66 years old. I do not know where to find parts however but best of luck hunting.

What is the age of a 22 S-L-LR J Stevens Arms Company Chicopee Falls Mass US Springfield Model 15?

I believer what you have is a Springfield Model 15 .22 caliber rifle. It would be a single shot, bolt action with a one piece integral barrel and receiver. You should also have a manual cocking piece at the end of the bolt. If this is indeed what you have, they were manufactured between 1936 and 1945. There were around 225,000 of them made, many under house brand names for J.C. Penney and others.

The values below are provided from the 28th edition of the Blue Book of Gun Values. Since I don't have any information from you on condition, I have given you a range to work with. You would need to have someone who is familiar with grading to give you a good opinion of what condition your gun is in.

New in box - $200

95% condition -- $165

90% condition -- $135

80% condition -- $115

70% condition -- $95

60% condition -- $80

So roughly 65-70 years old. Nice guns...

What is the value of a 1918 Browning military rifle?

You seem to be referring to the Browning Automatic Rifle Model of 1918. That is a selective fire rifle, and requires registration under the National Firearms Act. Any legitimate, registered BAR would be $20,000 or more. Any BAR that is not registered is worth up to ten years in the penitentiary and a $10,000 fine. Ohio Gun Works is making a semi-auto civilian legal BAR with a retail of $5500.
