Field Grade 12 Ga Side by Side - What to do with it?Archived Message
Posted by Bob on July 23, 2007, 2:29 pm
I have my dad's L. C. Smith Field Grade 12 Ga side by side which has been sitting in a closet for the past 30 years. The question is what to do with it. It's in very good condition (a few scratches but no cracks in stock, all joints look good, metal somewhat faded in spots but still very good condition, all mechanical parts work and look good, barrel looks good). I'm not interested in using the gun. Only thing I've wondered about is selling it. Not sure where to start with this, however. Is it worth restoring the gun first? Or should I get it cleaned/checked/adjusted? If so, who should I go to? I'm in the Minneapolis/St Paul area. How should I attempt to sell it? How do I determine a value on it?
Would appreciate some knowledgeable advice on this. Thanks.
