jamiphar Posted October 24, 2018 at 01:24 AM Share Posted October 24, 2018 at 01:24 AM Hey everyone. I'm trying to buy a couple of guns from a family member and I want to find the fair market price for them.The first one is a Ruger 10/22 Carbine Bicentennial, made in 1976. Barrel is stamped "MADE IN THE 200th YEAR OF AMERICAN LIBERTY." Good condition, maybe 7.5-8/10.Second up is a Remington Wingmaster 870 2-3/4". My best guess is it was made in 1979. Excellent condition, 9/10.He also has a .32 caliber revolver, but I don't know the model yet. I'll post it here once I know. Any insight would be appreciated!

45Badger Posted October 24, 2018 at 02:55 AM Share Posted October 24, 2018 at 02:55 AM $150-250 on the Ruger. $250-350 in the Wingmaster Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWBH Posted October 24, 2018 at 01:38 PM Share Posted October 24, 2018 at 01:38 PM $150-250 on the Ruger. $250-350 in the Wingmaster Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkAgree with the Badger on the 10/22. However, the price of the Wingmaster seems low to me.If in "excellent" condition (98%) , I'd place it from $400 to $500 - new ones are over $700. JMHO... That said, nothing's worth more than what you can get out of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee n. field Posted October 24, 2018 at 04:38 PM Share Posted October 24, 2018 at 04:38 PM Ditto on the Gunbroker suggestion. Log in, search on completed auctions, look for auctions where the piece in question actually sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiphar Posted October 24, 2018 at 07:00 PM Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 at 07:00 PM Great suggestions to search gunbroker sales! Here's what I found: Looking at recent listings on for this model of shotgun (Remington Wingmaster 870 12Ga 2-3/4”), it seems like they’ve been selling for $350-$400 depending on condition. This seems to be in better condition than most of the ones I’ve seen, so I'd think something closer to $400 would be more accurate. Rural King sells a similar model (with the addition of decorative engraving on the receiver) new for $799.97 plus tax. Searching in the same way for the rifle (Ruger 10/22 Carbine with walnut stock), I found prices ranging from $155-$250. The condition of those examples seems to match this one pretty closely. Some come with scopes and extended magazines and some are just the rifle and original magazine. Rural King sells a nearly identical model new for $229.99 plus tax.

2A4Cook Posted October 24, 2018 at 07:23 PM Share Posted October 24, 2018 at 07:23 PM I haven't seen an H&R since the 70's. I recall it being a budget brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
