I still have the first fire arm I ever purchased. I bought a Model 370 Winchester single shot .12 guage w/32 inch barrel full choke and 3 inch chamber. I bought it for $45.00 from a friend of my dad's (he felt sorry for me since my dad owned several guns that I used but didn't actuallu own one myself yet). I took the original plastic butt plate off and put a nice rubber recoil pad on it right after I bought back in 1970 or 71. I refinished the stock and forearm with what my dad said was the original stain from Winchester, (he ordered it from a local gun shop) and then finished them both with a Urethane clear. The gun ended up looking just like it did from the factory as far as color of the wood goes. It's never been re-blued but has been cleaned and oiled and stored properly since I first got it. The gun looks brand new (really). I've been wondering what the value of this gun would be now. Disregard my sentimental attachment to it, I just want to know what you guys think it's actual dollar value is now. This is the only model 370 I've ever seen... and I've been looking. Are these guns considered rare at all?
