Because its a 16ga, you may get $300 out of it. List it on 16ga.com for $350 and see what happens.

[clublights]

it's a pump action



Don't really wanna sell it just wanna get a decent worth of it :-)

[JohnTRourke]

$100 to $200 max IMO
16ga pump????
16ga is tough in high end guns, it's impossible in low end guns.
it's a hunting gun, use it and don't worry about it.

Most likely made by High Standard. These are very nice, slick shotguns, but unfortunately, not worth much. $150 maybe. The extractor seems to be a weak link.

I learned on my dad's JC Higgins in 12 ga that he bought from Sears for $50 in the early 50s (Winchesters and Remingtons were $75, and when you're making $60 a week, $25 is a lot of money). I first fired it at age 11 in 1961, shared it with my brother for a few years, and I still have a soft spot for that old gun.

I got one in a small collection I bought a few years ago, a 12 ga with a PolyChoke. I was going to offload it, but I couldn't make myself do it.
