Okay, just bought this rifle today for the son's Christmas present, he gets a new (to him) rifle/gun every year. He's really into WWII era stuff, so I tend to concentrate in that area. Although he does have a Yugo SKS, he's also got a Mosin Nagant M44, a Enfield Mk4, a Turkish Mauser 98 and a M1 carbine (Universal Arms reproduction).
So today I go to my favorite gun shop (Hicks Trading Station, Pickneyville, IL) and find the MAS1936. It's in good shape, no pics as it's still at the shop, has the sling, and bayonet, and still wears it's original furniture, not sporterized.
Here's my questions...
At $150, did I get a decent buy?
The serial number is 316 or 319, and although I haven't checked to make sure it's a numbers matching gun, does that help the value? If it's a numbers matching gun, how much of a help?
I guess I need a C&R, lol. After a bit of reading in this section, I can tell it will help, lol!!
Thanks ahead of time for any help. I've looked at a few websites as far as info on the gun goes, but really haven't seen anything about the value of the gun.
Also, my son has inherited a Remington Mod 11 shotgun. It's about 75%, is engraved fairly heavily from the factory. I'm thinking of getting it refinished if it's worth it, so what kind of value would one put on it?
