Does anyone know were I can take a antique firearm to get appraised. I have a antique gun and my Grandma would like me to try and sell it but Im not sure how much to sell it for.
I also have a 30-06 for sale Remington Woodmaster Model 742 with a 3x9 Leupold scope.

You can go to your local Barnes & Noble and in the sports section you should find a reference guide for gun values. If your firearm is not listed in the book you can go to
www.gun-appraisals.com and they can tell you what you need to know. Good luck.

You listed the .06 but what is the antique gun?
I believe it is a Sharps model 1852. I'm not 100% that is one of the reasons I want to take it to someone.

Check this website out. You might be able to locate your rifles here and get an idea of what the price might be at auction. At least it may be some help. These guys sell some real nice firearms.

Whatever you do dont go and take it to some gun store or pawn shop. They will tell you that its worth crap and then offer to take it off your hands for a few dollars more like they feel bad for you and want to help you out.
Ive seen gunstore owners tell people their gun is junk and offer $50 for a $750 rifle, just to see if they are desperate for money.
