What is my gun worth?

If you want to sell a firearm, you should first know the achievable price. It depends less on the age of the firearm and more on its condition. You have three options for a quick assessment.

How to estimate the value of your firearm

1. Ask a gunsmith or dealer: A local expert will give you an appraisal or an offer. A dealer’s offer is naturally below the achievable sale price because the dealer wants to make a profit on resale.
2. Check comparable listings: Gunfinder search results quickly show you the prices similar models are traded at.
3. Free appraisal by our experts: Fill out our form, and our experts will assess your firearm based on your information. The more precise and detailed the info, the more accurate the appraisal. We’ll send you the result by email.

These criteria determine the value

• Overall condition: How do the wear parts look? Is the bluing intact? Is there rust on the barrel? What condition is the wood in?
• Brand and model: Well-known, popular brands hold their value – also because repairs and spare parts are unproblematic.
• Caliber: Common calibers have a positive effect because affordable ammunition is available in many loadings.
• Firearm type: Repeaters and double-barrel shotguns are the most sought after. Combination guns like the classic Drilling are out of fashion, which lowers the price.
• Scope: Mounted optics only increase the value if they are relatively new. Older models are hard to sell and usually only at low prices.
