Book Values

Step 4: Determine the Book Value of firearm

After you have found your model and condition, you can use the following chart to find the approximate value of your gun.  The value is RETAIL, so if you are selling to a dealer, the value will be less.  Think in terms of ranges instead of absolutes.  And remember that this is a book value.  Without a buyer that is willing to pay you a certain amount for your gun, this is a "theoretical value. "  Marketing can sometimes increase the value of your gun.  Geographical areas also can influence the value as well as the time you are willing to wait for a sale.
