firearm appraisals
Does anyone know of a website similar to kelly blue book, but for firearms? My father wants to know about how much one of his shotguns is worth. We live in a fairly rural town, and I'm pretty sure there is no one around here that does this sort of thing...
About the shotgun...I've never seen another one like it(but I haven't looked either). I want to say it's a Winchester(not positive) bolt action 12ga.(am pos. about these). I'd guess it was produced in the 40's or 50's. He inherited it from a first cousin when he(dad) was a teenager. The cousin had shot and killed hisself with it while climbing over a fence...
Thanks for any info!

Finally got around to creating a gallery...check it out

I am not familiar with any sites that would help you out. I do however have the Blue Book of Gun Values.
A bolt action 12 gauge sounds like a Marlin/Sears. They where made in early sixties and I think maybe late 50's. They had a plain jane stock with a detachable magazine that held 2 rounds.
I am not familiar with Winchester making a bolt action shotgun.
Values for bolt action shotguns are usually low.
If you have more info on it, email me and I would be happy to try and trace it down.

Odie,
I guess you could say I'm more of a shooter than a collector, but yeah, I've got an addiction to firearms that goes WAY back! lol. I just wish I had the $$$ to buy as many as I want!!

Cool, I have a few nice older guns as well. I have to say I am a want to be collector and a shooter as well. I have an 1889 32-20 Win that was my grandfather's. That was the first gun I shot a deer with and will be the first one my daughter shoots one with. Kind of cool to pass something like that on as long as they don't sell them.

I have a Mossberg .22 semi automatic rifle and can not find anything out about this one. Everyone tells me that Mossberg only made shotguns. Anybody out there got one?

I'm not sure but if you have a gun shop near you ask them if they have a book called the blue book of gun values it should give you a good idea of what it might be worth.I have an old book around here somewhere but for some reason i ca'nt find it(my den is not a pretty sight BIG mess:-X23 ).Sounds like you have a nice piece keep it clean and oiled and it will last another 50yrs
