I too was suspicious of the checkering pattern on the BTFE as Pete mentioned.
As others have stated, $4k is a steep number for a G grade in 12g. compared to what you can buy nice original ones for. If this were a 16g or 20g. it would be a different story. Looking at it from the Book value standpoint, where a restored Gun is in the Very Good Category (even restored to new), the base book value is $3,250 and then add 35% for the Ejectors. That would put it in the $4,300 range. And I am sure the single trigger would add some sort of value in there too. So, the $4k price is still under what is considered BOOK VALUE. But it is not a Bargain Price.

Thanks everyone for the replies, this is the kind of information I'm looking for. As soon as I get the additional pics I requested I will post them.
As for the 'book value' what book is the standard to be used, are you guys refering to the 'Blue Boook of Guns'? Thanks again for the help. Matt |

I have a couple books for values. Both of them are the same pretty much as far as the values lited. "2011 Standard Catalog of Firearms(21st Edition)" and the "2010 Guns & Prices (5th Edition)" The values I have referenced came from them.

B.Dudley,
Thanks for the reply. I am going to be speaking with the owner over the next few days and will report my findings to him on his price. I am still waiting for him to email me the requested pics. Matt |

I wonder how many of us still refer to 2010 and 2011 gun values in today's (mid-2012) market? No reflection on Brian's reference to his books, just a question of where today's values stack up to yesterday's estimates...

$3,000 - $3,250 would seem to be about the right price range - but if the gun makes your socks go up and down, and it looks as good in real life as the few pictures make it look, well, it's your call. It not going to be an "investment" in any case. More importantly, does it fit and can you shoot it well. In the end, that's what will matter most.
