I am looking for prices that all sorts of guns would cost people in the old west. I am sure certain books may have this info, but sifting through what comes on the internet is not helping. Thanks.

10-20 dollars for a Colt Single Action thru 1900.\n\nWinchester Model 1894 18 dollars thru 1900 (round barrel.. octagon barrels were a couple dollars more)\n\nLess quality firearms could be had for 1.00 and up.\n\nMuzzleloaders were plentiful and cheap and were almost giveaways after metallic cartridges came into being. Many ended as play toys for children.

i have a model 70, clip fed semi auto.  it was bought new in the late 70's.  so i'm guessing your gun was made in the 50's or 60's.  neither one is worth much.

A good all around gun moderately priced in  a tipmann 98 custom.  You can pick up a kit that was the gun, mask and hopper for like $160 bucks at Walmart

It was made by Marlin from 1955-1964. It's basically the same as the Marlin Model 56. Usually the "store brand" guns aren't as valuable as the name brand guns, but in good shape it should be worth around $100.00, in very good shape about $20-30 more.\n Most store brands aren't collectible and the value on them is more for their shooting capabilities.\n My Grandfather used to have a Marlin Levermatic Model 57 which is the same as your gun except it had the tube magazine under the barrel instead of the clip.

There are no cheap-good firearms. For a reasonably priced, good quality rifle, look into a Savage Arms model 100 in \neither a 30-06, or .308 caliber. \n  I'll bet that every one of those people answering with some smart-Alec comment about you don't need to hunt or own a gun, eats meat. I wonder if they have any idea where it comes from?

The Remington Model 12A had a 22 in. round or octagon barrel. 849,000 were manufactured between 1909 and 1936.\n\n100% condition $600\n98% $475\n95% $350\n90% $325\n80% $300\n70% $275\n60% $250\n\nB, C, or CS models are worth a bit more.\nYou mention engraving, this could add to the value depending on if original.

First, do some research. Go to surplusrifle.com and read the sections on the 98k, then join the forums and ask in the right section who has them for sale. You will find lots of friendly folks like me who love collecting and shooting these old rifles and know just about everything there is to know about them. \n\nYou will need a dealer to order and transfer the rifle to you....if you live in the US of course....and expect to pay him $15 to $25 for this service. Most independent Pawn shops are also dealers and will often order from a catalog for you. \n\nExpect a German k98k to be $200 to $500 and this depends on factory codes and condition. Accuracy is sort of a crap shoot in dealing with old used rifles, so be prepared that it maybe won't shoot as well as you like. \n\nAlso, the Czech model 24 Mauser is one of the best Mausers ever made and used by the Czech and German armies during WWII. Yes, the Czechs fought with the Nazis. Slightly cheaper. \n\nA great deal is the Yugo M48 (also called Bosnian, Serb, etc.). After WWII the allies gave General Tito of Yugoslavia an entire Mauser factory and moved it to Zastava. The Yugoslavians started making an almost exact model and this rifle was used extensively in the wars there in the 1980s on. You can find these sometimes almost new for $125 and less. \n\nAlso, the Mausers made rifles for the Turks in 8mm. The Turk mausers are plentiful and look beat up, but let me tell you I have one that will shoot better than any of the other six dozen rifles I own, with cheap surplus ammo no less.  \n\nAvoid a company called Mitchell's Mausers. They refinish old rifles and put new stocks on them and then charge way to much IMHO. \n\nYou also want to look at a Swiss K31. Beautiful rifles that represent the very best of European manufacturing and craftsmanship in available 7.5mm Swiss caliber. To buy a rifle of this quality new would cost three to four thousand dollars and you can get them for $150. Excellent deer rifle, one of the very best ever made. The Swiss take shooting seriously. \n\nYou need to think long and hard about scoping one of these.....to drill and tap one would ruin their collector value. If you are a good rifleman, you don't need no stinking scope anyway. But if you must have a scope, get the Swiss. They make a clamp on scope mount that's rock solid. Or use a Scout style scope setup.

An older "A.H. Fox" in 12ga can bring in the thousands. After Savage bought them, it looks like those models go for a lot less, but still in the hundreds. They were made well and quite popular for years. On a .410, it's hard for me to tell as I see very few listed anywhere. Could be because .410 is very small and not popular as it once was, or maybe that makes them rare and more valuable. \n\nCheck the website at the link below and do some searching...\n\n\n"Perhaps the most common and affordable of the inexpensive American made doubles is the Savage/Fox Model B series. This gun is not a classic A.H. Fox design, but rather an upgrade of the Stevens 311 boxlock. Savage Arms had purchased both Stevens and A. H. Fox, and combined the Fox name with the somewhat bulky but sturdy Stevens side-by-side shotgun to produce the Fox Model B series.\n\nWhere the Stevens 311 is generally seen stocked in plain hardwood and fitted with double triggers and extractors, the Fox Model B series came with checkered (impressed or otherwise) American walnut stocks and a raised ventilated rib. The plain Model B featured a color-cased frame, splinter forearm, double triggers, and extractors. The more deluxe B-SE had a satin chrome frame with a roll stamped game scene, beavertail forearm, non-selective single trigger, and selective ejectors (SE). I sold these guns in the 1960's and cannot ever remember having a problem with one. The 23rd edition of Fjestad's Blue Book of Gun Values shows that at the time of this writing a Model B in 95% condition should sell for about $240, and a Model B-SE for about $325. The line was discontinued in 1989."

Some rust on the barrel is normal and a little oil will make it less noticeable unless it is pitted.\nThe SKS will still function in terrible condition. \nAnd none are "PRETTY" when new.\nA basic SKS in USA sells for $89 to $149.\nOne that takes a clip is worth more than the ones with a built in magazine.\nThe sporter stock would  probably cost $49 -$100\nClips are worth $5-$20 each\nAmmo is cheep.  I buy Wolf at Gander Mountain for less than $2 for a box of 20. Gun shows will have it even cheaper.
