Jason, I think David is spot on. If your concern over this gun holding its value due to FW frame and 28" barrels I think it;s condition outweighs these. The major factors that will effect a gun holding value beside condition/originality are gauge, grade, and options. Since it is a 12 ga it won't be more or less popular in the near future. I love FW frames and 28" barrel seems right for a 12, but that's me. I'd say go ahead if the only concern is residual $. Jeff Brant
