Hey guys. Next weekend there will be a estate auction here in town and there a few guns going up for auction. Im not very knowledgeable about value of guns and i would like for someone to kind of give me a ball park figure on these guns. I have no seen any pictures so i do not know the condition of them.
1. Franchi Model 48 20 gauge shotgun
2. WW2 Russian Mosin Nagent 7.62 x 54 rifle w / bayonet
3. Remington 30.06 Mod. 742 w/scope
4. Winchester 308 Mod. 100
5. Mossberg 270 Mod. 100 ATR
6. Colt .38 revolver

This is all the info i have on them. any help would be great thanks.

Have a Franchi 48 AL. Nice gun. IIRC, paid about 600 new ~ 10 years ago. Warning in the literature was to be careful removing/replacing the forearm. Seems to be prone to spliting if too much force is used.

***********ANYONE WITH A WINCHESTER MODEL 100 TAKE NOTE OF THIS PLEASE!!!***********


The Winchester Model 100s are worth barely anything.
******* ALSO---- there is a recall on all model 100s....the firing pins could/have/DO break, and can make the gun go full auto. Piece of the pin can stick in the breech. Write/Call Winchester with the serial number and they will tell you if the firing pin was replaced. If not, you send them the old one, and they send you a new one and 25 bucks for a gunsmith.

They were made from 1961 to 1973 and are unpopular guns. If it was mint with original magazine it would bring 250.

I would definitely stay away from the Winchester in any case.

Nothing on that list is high dollar, except depending on what the Colt is, but I would doubt it will be a First Year Python!

It's an auction, so be prepared for the prices to be crazy.

Here are some prices from an old Blue Book

1. Franchi Model 48 20 gauge shotgun ($645 to 235)
2. WW2 Russian Mosin Nagent 7.62 x 54 rifle w / bayonet ($150 at Cabella's for the full rifle, 200 to 250 for a Carbine)
3. Remington 30.06 Mod. 742 w/scope (depending on which grade it is, anywhere from $450 to 185)
4. Winchester 308 Mod. 100 (rifle $500 to 215, carbine $600 to 200)
5. Mossberg 270 Mod. 100 ATR ($285 to 115)
6. Colt .38 revolver
 
The 91/30 Mosin Nagants are really all over the place pricewise depending on which varient it is, where it was made and condition. From $89 Big5 specials to rare & desirable models that go for 4 figures.

The M44 & M38 carbines are already appreciating as the supplies dry up.

Here ya go...

Two of my LGS have the Mosin rifles for $129 including bayonet, tool kit, oil can and sling.

The Remington 742 can be a desirable rifle depending on whether it's Standard grade, ADL or BDL. You might go here and print out the years/serial numbers and grades. That way you can tell about when the rifle was made by serial number blocks. I had one in .243 and I still kick myself for getting rid of it.

Can't say anything about the rest of them.

Estate sales are one of those places where you can get a heck of a deal if you are informed enough to recognize a good deal. Conversely, you can loose your shorts if you're not careful.

Case in point, I hit estate sales from time to time looking for USGI M1 carbines, which I collect. Sometimes I see $1,000 M1 carbines sell for $300, and sometimes I see $300 carbines sell for $1,000. Since I'm pretty well versed on M1 carbines I know when to recognize a bargain and snatch one when I can.

At a recent estate sale, I saw a 1940 dated Mauser manufactured German Luger that I could have bought for $900. I've always wanted one, but I don't know squat about Lugers so I passed. I took a few iPhone pictures and made some notes and later talked with a guy I know that does know a bit about Lugers and after showing him the pictures and notes he said it would probably value at $1,500+. Interestingly, at the same estate sale, I saw a CMP M1 Garand that was worth no more than $700 tops sell for $1,400.
 
thanks guys. I will look over the infomation and see what i can get out of the serial numbers. Im really not fully interested in them besides the colt. But im all for a good deal and if i can get it, i will take it. they finally put up a picture of the colt tonight.

Might be a "Bankers Special" or a Couier(sp?). In either case it's a Police Positive frame and is chambered in one if the following: .22, .32 Short or Long Colt, .32 S&W and S&W Long, or .38 S&W. If it is a Couier GRAB IT! They're bringing good money these days!
 
as you can see here ,,there are differing values to guns,,, KJM says the Model 100's are ****,and not worth anything,,,, dswancutt says their worth 250 -500. My first rifle was and still is a mod 100 in 308.
a mod 100 carbine in 284 winchester will command a premium from knowledgeable collectors.

Yep...I wish I could find some Winchester 100's for $250. I would have a bundle of em. Nothing at all wrong with the rifles, they do hold some collecter value for nice ones.
No big deal about having a recall out there either, heck it's practically mandatory for Rugers.

NO WAY that's a Courier, which was a 1950's gun. Looked like an Agent, but had a three-inch bbl.

That's also too long for a Banker's Spcl. I think it''s a Police Positive (NOT PP Special) that had the bbl. cut down and a ramp sight fitted. The butt may also have been rounded a bit, and the stocks look to be smooth, or worn down that way.
