Is there a "Blue Book" for Rifles/Pistols?
Does anyone know if there is a "Blue Book" or something similar that states the values of Rifles and Pistols? Thanks.

Sure is, called "Blue Book of Gun Values" New edition out shortly, but they don't change much from year to year. Check GB, half.com, etc. 0 -
Also look for Balderson's Official Price Guide to Antique and Modern Firearms, and Modern Gun Values. The Blue Book may be the best for a suggestion of a price. For additional research, the other have merit for additional information. You are never likely to see a firearm offered for the prices you find in the books, but at least they tell you if you are going to be looking at collectable prices, or shooter prices for the firearm you seek. If you are looking for values to sell, you will be doing outrageously well to get the blue book price.

Without having the book in front of me, I think the title is called Gun Digest and it's published yearly.

Yep, as mentioned by others there is a Blue Book. It's also very obsolete by the time it gets published. It takes several years to put a book together. Even a yearly book will be several years out of date. It'll give you a place to start lookingfor firearm values though, but it will be far from accurate. Prices vary from place to place too. 0 -

Gun Digest, Shooters Bible etc. are best used to see the current years offerings, and the factories suggested price (MSRP), although I've never paid MSRP for a new car, gun, camera or anything else.
Some guys like a mag full of lead, I still prefer one round to the head.0
