Hi
A friend tried to give me an old Remington pump 22lr that his Father left to him. This gun was from 1909 - 1911, serial # RW 129xxx. It is in 80% condition, needs cleaning and has never been "messed with". It has an octagon barrel, and his Father used in Camp Perry matches in 1940 or so. There is no engraving on it, and he does have a newspaper article about the Camp Perry match.
I told him that while I appreciate his offer he should not give it away. He knows I am an avid shooter and he isn't, he simply has kept it mounted on a wall for a great many years.
I believe that this rifle has value and that he should find out how much and then sell it rather than give a potentially valuable gun away. Does anyone have any information on this gun?
Thank you.
