What is a mossberg model 800a worth?

Answer 1

I happen to have a 1965 Mossberg Model 800a. I recently took it to a gunsmith to have some minor cosmetic work performed on it and he told me that he had never seen a rifle stock that old in such excellent shape. I bought it at a garage sale from an elderly woman for $575.00. It had belonged to her late husband. Right now the rifle is worth between $600.00 and $700.00. My rifle has a very nice rifle sling, front and rear sights, see through scope mounts and a Bushnell 3x9 scope. The barrel needs to be reblued in a couple of spots, but I treat the stock with tru oil and keep it cleaned. But the true value of any weapon is found in its worth to the owner as opposed to any buyer. I still hunt with mine and my 12 yr old son will get it when I pass on. To him, it will be priceless.
