The range is tremendous, from less than $100 to thousands depending on the maker, history and condition of the gun. New modern muzzle loaders sell at retail for $200 - 400+/- mark and antiques start out less than $100 and go up from there. have a look at the gunbroker.com website or auctionarms.com that should give a good idea of what you are looking for and the value.

I recently inharited a double barrel American Gun Company 20 gauge from my grandfather It is in desent condition I am wondering is it capable of firing todays rounds Value of gun One hammer replaced?

Crescent gun co made shotguns under the name of American gun co. The problems is "How old is the shotgun?" Old shotguns where designed to shoot black powder at a much lower barrel pressure than today's gun powder. Old shotguns may literally explode if the wrong powder is used. I suggest that you take it to a gun shop and have them examine it to tell you the condition of the rifle and what shot you can use with it.
