Fair price for a Browning BAR 30-06

tawd77
Hi, I am thinking of purchasing a Browning BAR 30-06 semi-auto - It is in excellent condition, with a scope 3-9x40 (unknown brand) a soft case, and 2 boxes of shells. Anyone have a good Idea what this is worth buying it from an individual? Any known issues with this gun I should be worried about? Thanks

    Around here in NC I've seen them sell for around $500 as you described. $400 would be a good deal, $600 a bit high in my opinion.
    The only issue I know with Brownings is they look too nice to hunt with and some of the early ones had salt treated wood causing the barrels/actions to rust under the wood line. Just take a look with the stock removed.

    Thank you TWalker. I will keep the rust issue in mind. He wants $500 for the gun with everything that I listed. I dont like to pay what a gun is worth, I prefer getting a bargain of course. I just didnt want to offer him too little and piss him off. I think I will try $400 and see what he says. Anyone else have any knowledge of used value of this gun, and other issues? Thanks

    After a little research I found that the salt dried stocks were used primarily on the over/under doubles (Superposed). You shouldn't have any problems like that on a BAR.

    I sold mine for 500 without a scope or ammo or case, but these things are usually insignificant unless the scope is of a very high quality, so TWalker is right on in my opinion.

    Before they can convince you that rights emanate from them (the government), they must first eliminate God. They are working 24/7 to accomplish this.

    If the people have become so apathetic that they will not vote out all the liberal scum (republican and democrat alike), the only solution is Constitutional Convention II the sequel. Let's get it right this time.
