Hello friends and neighbors // Nice finds folks, quality used firearms are everywhere.
Some shops just try to charge near new prices for shooters, go to another shop.
I am fortunate to frequent the same 7+ shops monthly and hit some extra shops when on the road.
Some shops it is unfortunate to see what they try to charge but check them anyway.
I know of one that has high prices on everything but revolvers, another that sells older shotguns at very low prices. Different shops respect different firearms.
Most recent in that price range, $365 tax and all:
Remington, 870 ,Wingmaster, 1953, VG, 12ga., ------------------------------ $224.70
Remington, 870, Express Super Mag., Turkey Cammo, 2005, VG, 12ga. ---- $340.00
S&W, 586, 4", 1983, F (blemished finish on one side ) .357/.38 ---------------------------- $353.00
Dan Wesson, 14, 2", $1976??, VG ( action too tight,barrel too close to cylinder but mostly just new) .357/.38------------- $294.00 + one hour cleaning and adjusting.
BTW nice Rem. 31, RIOT "roller bearing action", I have not seen one with a riot barrel.
My last 31 purchase was a 1948, 16ga. with the aluminum rec.
I was on the road,Penn./Maryland border, popped into a GS and they had two 31s which is rare.
The 16ga., upon inspection, was loaded ...rarer still.. they came down on the already fair price $25.00, too rare to pass on.
It also comes in low enough and is reliable enough to fit this thread.
