That gun is worth quite a lot more than the "$900-$1500" that you mentioned in a previous post. With that engraving and condition, along with its quality and nice configuration, I would venture it to be more like a $3000/$3500 gun any day. Hell, Steve Barnett would put $4500 on it, and Kevin's would put it at $6500. JR

Yeah definitely worth reaming. Make sure you lop a big chunk off the stock before you peddle it as well. It could use a big fat red recoil pad for user comfort.
Out there doing it best I can.

Blades' That is a lovely Gun mate.As so many were so plain, this could be worth more than you think. Its in lovely nic too...I dig that heart/lyre scroll on the side shot. If it were mine n it fit me, I would take a little choke out,if needed n it would be a great gun to shoot for the rest of my life...(how old are ye?,lol) I guess its a Best BSA, eh? I'd love to have one of 'em cheers franc

You forgot the sling swivels and initials scratched into the barrels... JR

That is a fantastic looking gun and I know I would love to have it! If you plan on keeping it and shooting have the choke changed to your preference and enjoy it. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

And Jack Puglisi, if he was alive, would have listed it a $8500. My late grandather used to say: "No tree can grow up to the sky".. He was talking about the Wall Street idiots.

Hell, Steve Barnett would put $4500 on it, and Kevin's would put it at $6500. JR "Worth" is one thing. What a gun could sell for is something else. I would like to think you're right that it would sell for $3,000. I believe it "should" but I also know that somebody with $3,000 to spend on a shotgun has a lot to choose from and that a BSA might not top the list when considering his or her options. Also, it's been my experience that the setting of sale makes a huge difference in price. Leather chairs and dusty bookcases can add hundreds, if not thousands to the price. BTW, I shot two rounds of skeet with it today. First round was a bit of a disaster but I did much better the second round. My first miss was on station 4. I had an unusually bad station 6 and ended up at 21, which is a fairly common score for me. That left barrel sure smokes 'em!

It's a dang BSA guys. Nobody cares if the chokes are opened. JR No, it is a dang NICE BSA. You missed a bit. Bet if it was your's (or, mine) it would remain untouched. Best looking Brit boxlock I've seen in some time. He stole it, too. Best, Ted
