    Bob if you have read some of the posts on here about people asking what their gun might be worth, you know by now that it is all about condition. That being said, comparing two identical "elsies" one in 12 ga. and other in 20 ga. The Blue Book lists the 20ga. 50% higher in price. The Hunter One-Trigger and ejectors would add another $1,000. A straight stock would add more.
    If you are saying that it has 26" barrels, are they touching at the muzzle or have they been cut.
    This gun was special ordered for the Hunter One-Trigger and ejectors, so maybe it was ordered with 26" barrels and different chokes than full/full.
    I would guess the range to be around $2500-$3500 in your description, if it was in all original condition maybe more.
