I like the Ruger Red Label, they are not extremely overpriced and are a very attractive firearm, they have interchangeable chokes, and come in a variety of barrel lengths, gauges, and finishes, they also have straight stocks, if you prefer the English styled shotguns,

Well, it all depends on what kind of gun it is. Is it old? Is it collectible in any way? Is it a military arm? Hell, I might be able to answer a few questions sbout it if you give me a holler. PLease do, Im intersted in helping you, and if I cant myself, I have some friends I can ask about it and get back to you. My Email is fiftyfleetliner@yahoo.com (I guess its obvious if they show your screen name on here, but I put it anyway just in case lol.)

why is this a golf question?  As for the value, that's not the kind of thing to research on Yahoo Answers.  Go to a gun shop somewhere, or maybe check with a gun collector.

Only law enforcement agencies have resources to check on whether a gun is stolen, or not.  A gun can still be stolen, and not be on any law enforcement database.The only sure way of buying a clean gun, is to purchase it in new condition.

If you have the serial numbers you can find out when the gun is made. I haven't found a single web site that will list all gun so you will have to search on the make/model. Some of the sites will mention what it is worth. \nWhat make/model is it?

eBay would be the 1st place to check.\nYou never know what they will have.

If you go to local library you can look it up in the Blue Book Of Gun Values.  One side note that i should tell you is that Winchester went out of business this year and there guns are highly sought after collectors items now.  so you might want to add 10 to 20 % onto what this years book gives price.
