Finding out what its worth

[webb]

OK guys, I have searched the online auction sites with no luck. I won a Taurus .17 HMR model 172 a while back and do not shoot the thing. I am sure there is someone in this world that would like to have it but I do not have a clue what it is worth. If anyone knows where the blue book for guns is located please let me know.

Pawn shops have a book that tells pawn value and retail value. Just take it to a pawn shop and ask if they can look it up and ask what the retail is. I know they do this because I had a transfer done at one and was listening to the transaction where someone was pawning their high pernt.

Gunbroker.com is a good place to start.

Is it stainless? If not how long of a barrel is it 16.5" or 23"

This is the pump model?

TDH, That is a good idea. I will try that with a phone call.

Speedlace, I searched that site and a couple more with no luck. The link you provided shows a pistol. I am dealing with a pump action rifle. Thanks anyway.

Is it Stainless and how long is the barrel?

I could not find a tape measure but judging by holding up to a known barrel length shotgun I will say it is a 23" barrel. The guns finish is a standard blue not stainless. BTW, it has wood stocks and yes it is a pump.

It would be the bottom one I linked above then, I would guess

It is this one listed below. A whopping $268

Thanks CajunTim, I always look around on Bud's but did not think about looking for this little jewel.
