28 2BBL BT DT Just Sold

[Bill Murphy]

If there weren't so many great guns coming "out" these days, this one would be mine. Gunbroker 540770427. DT, two barrrel set, both 26", BT, PG. Sold for the low fives. A dream gun for someone who doesn't insist on a straight grip. High number, sold for $2795 on the closeout. I have never seen this special order combination before and wish I had bitten the bullet.

Can a moderator move this post to the Repro subforum. I assumed I was on the Repro subforum because I was reading Dave Tercek's Repro thread.

What do you all think about the 28 gauge on gunbroker #540770427 ?

[Bob Jurewicz]

Great gun!! Watched it the whole way. Couldn't believe it sold mid $5K.

It was indeed a seldom seen combination of barrels and configuration, but IMO it was the configuration that held it back. Not many wanted that particular configuration initially and not many want it now.

I was guessing 6,250+

Somebody got a nice price on a fantastic shotgun - hope it was somebody here.

I do, too.

What year was the closeout?

[James Rhodenizer]

I thought I had it. Forgot about the 15 minute rule. Second place is the first
loser.

[Fred Lowe]

What year was the closeout?

About 1995 and 1996

CPI (using '95) & hammer price = about a 39% return if purchased at high closeout of 2795..not too shabby

..oops..should have read 25% :o

..still not too awful

My guess..it's an even better investment today

..of course if it was my gun..honest wear would have to be taken into account :)

I happen to know the gentleman (using that term loosely) that bought the gun. I told him it would sell for $6200 so he was happily surprised at the purchase price. He really doesn't deserve such a nice gun. He shoots Foxes!

25% over 20 years is pretty grim

25% over 20 years is pretty grim

As a hedge against inflation?

Keep in mind..these were intended as shooters, not collectibles.

Kept in new unfired condition makes it a commodity of sorts
