Records prior to 1907 (serial numbers 1 - 330000) are available for a fee from the Cody Firarms Museum. Serial numbers for production from 1908 to 1932 are available in The Blue Book of Gun Values or The Standard Catalog of Firearms.
The Sears 340 was made by Ithaca as the Model 49ss (for stainless steel). It was made from 1961-78, and is a Martini action single shot lever rifle. For more info, research under the Ithaca designation.
In my opiniont the above statement about ss meaning stainless steel is wrong. SS in this case probably means "single-shot." The Model 49 by Ithaca was a single-shot .22 rifle, a lever-action but with a Martini action. It was never made in stainless steel. It was made from 1961-78. As for the Sears Model 340 I do not know about that gun but one could look in the Standard Catalog of Firearms and find out or find one of many web sites that give crossover information on Department Store/Catalog House guns that had their brand name on but were made by some large gun company. One of Sears' brand names, for example, was J. C. Higgins.
I concur with the 2nd poster. SS means Single Shot. The Sears model 340.xxxxx is a clone of the Model 49 and made by Ithaca with the Ted Williams signature on the barrel. The only difference is the absence of the fake ammo tube and the Sears model has a heavy "bull" barrel. Despite what is stated about "house brands" not being collectible since I got interested in Ithaca's in 1993 I have only seen 3 of these rifles.
If it is in VG shape to ask $175 would not be unreasonable.
1994 WINCHESTER MODEL 94 CENTENNIAL 30-30 cal.

Depends on which manufacturer made the M1, condition, early war, late war.
Value runs from about $700 to $900 in average shape. This applies only to military manufacture M1 Carbines- civilian aftermarket firearms are less.
By gazing into the WikiAnswers crystal ball, I have discerned that this Model 88 was made by Winchester. Value will, of course, depend on configuration, period of manufacture, and degree of originality, none of which are coming through clearly. If the serial number is below 148859, it is pre-1964. If the barrel is only 19" (measured from the face of the closed bolt to the muzzle), you have a carbine. Now, I'll guess on the high side and say it has 92% of the original finish remaining and is mechanically sound which would grade Very Good by NRA Standards. The Standard Catalog suggests a value of $375 for a pre-64 rifle, $300 for a post-64 rifle, or $425 for a carbine (no carbines were manufactured before 1968) in Very Good condition.
Sounds like good solid amounts from a gun blue-book. If you roll the crystal ball over half-way and look at the 'demand' side that is out in the world you can probably add 20-40% to these totals for a gun in functioning condition and won't splinter after the first shot.
Example: Winchester .308 Model 88 Carbine book says $425, 'demand' says around $700. Which, for this gun made for only 3-4 years, is on the high end of the percentage rule which is 65%.
your serial number 33486 is to low for the 1903a3 serial number range. however, the Remington model of 1917, serial number 33486 was made in 1918.............
The 1903a3 and the model of 1918 both fire the 30/06 cartridge.................
I would like to start out with the fact that your Winchester model 1873 rifle was made in the year 1879.As with all old collectable Winchester,s it would be best if you have a visual examination by a Winchester collector assoc.member to determine the value of such a highly collectable firearm.By having a kings improvement done to your Winchester,this will only add to the value of your Winchester.Good luck,and enjoy such a fine piece of American history.
The value of the gun depends on looks and all is around $200 I can say that the model 1200 trench/riot shotgun was made during the Vietnam era.It should have a parkerized barrel,mag.tube.and bayonet adapter,with U.S. marked on the barrel.It has a aluminum receiver with a black or matte finish.U.S. is marked under serial number.This is a very rare shotgun because very few have been released to the public, due to continued use by the military forces of the U.S.
The serial Number is on the bottom of the rifle in front of the trigger assembly.I believe they will start with"B" and have 6 or 7 digits following it.
Depending on condition and age, 75-250 USD

Yes, but ejector spring may need modification- slight change in slot for spring.
Made in1952. Value is driven by condition, but $700-$800 for good condition.
Somewhere between 1963 and 1980. Sears used the JC Higgins brand through 1962, and quit selling firearms in 1980. The 273 number is NOT a serial number, it is a Sears stock (catalogue) number. If there is no other serial number, would have been manufactured before 1968, when Federal law began to require serial numbers on rifles and shotguns.
Value is based on make, model and condition. In the case of an older rifle, condition will drive value. You will need a hands on appraisal. Take you unloaded rifle to a gun show near you, check with the dealers and collectors there.
A cartridge that is marked WRA 52 is a round of ammunition loaded for the US military (Winchester Repeating Arms, 1952) It is POSSIBLY a 30-06 rifle cartridge.
The value of a benjamin sheridan 392pa 5.5mm 22cal air rifle is $185
In about 1973 the Browning Pump Shotgun (BPS) began production at the Miroku factory, and in 1976 production of the legendary John M. Browning-designed Auto-5 shotgun made the move from Belgium factories to Miroku, in Japan. The others followed as they were introduced
The Model 1400 (affectionately called the Mark I - my note) made its first appearance in 1964 using the Model 1200 slide action of a rotating, locking lug bolt and a gas valve system. In 1966, the Model 1400 was made available in with the new Winchester recoil reduction system.
Your serial number indicates that it was made in the last year of the classic winchesters which is 1963.That year ended with serial number 2,586,000.
buy providing the serial number with this question,I could answer that for you.
