Help with value of 10 gauge

Brian Liska · 01-16-2023, 03:38 PM

Hello all, thank you for allowing me to post here. I would like to get your opinions and value of this gun I came across. I was told it was refinished, and the stock looks so. Its a 30 inch barrel, 10 gauge, grade DH, frame size 3, damascus barrel. Serial number is 68740, which is about 1891. Any questions, please ask as I would like to get your value of this gun. Thank you for your time and consideration. I do have more pics I can share with you. It does need the barrel shimmed as there is just the slightest play between them and receiver.

More pics.

I can’t tell from your pics on my phone if the stock has the tear drops at the cheeks or not . Looks like the lever slightly to the left . Barrels look like they could use a hood cleaning inside . And you didn’t post a picture of the rib where the front bead is to see if the little box is present .

I don't mean to rain on anybody's parade but I've seen better ones for $750.

The stock is not just refinished. It is outright replaced with a poorly fitted and made aftermarket piece of wood. The gun overall if not worth all that much. This is one I would not feel bad about pulling apart for parts if it were cheap enough.

Sorry all, I had to step away for a bit. First of all, thank you for responding to my thread. And you are not hurting my feelings about what you say about this gun. I came to you all for your opinions as you all have greater knowledge than I do and I appreciate all of it. I have added some more pics here as requested. Just one basic question. Given the 10 gauge and all I have given, is this a common or uncommon gun? Thank you all!

I have one I'd say common

B. Dudley · 01-16-2023, 10:04 PM

It is not uncommon by any means.
