Yeah 67 and in fantastic shape! Yes worth it.

For comps here is a pressed checkering VR a few years later. 9 days left on it and it is up to $405 with a 28" Full choke which is not exactly desirable by most LOL.

And one a few years before that one but not near as good shape. No checkering on the buttstock at all I never cared for those years much. 3 days left at $350 28" with Mod choke and not the best condition.

The one you are looking at is the sweet spot for the 60's 37's IMO. Kind of partial to my 1963 37RVD for the 60's variants



although I love them all. And I have more than a few but have been thinning the herd down a little lately.

And remember doing local face to face your saving $50 to$75 in shipping and FFL fees if bought on line. BUY IT!

Good point, but shipping is generally $30 with the usual suspects online. He'll pay sales tax to the dealer, though. I'd haggle a little on it. Appears in good shape. It'll be lighter than the Upper Sandusky guns, too. Gil

I'm gonna guess private seller. Which means no taxes,at least that's how it works here.

My take on the gun is a little different. I usually am all about current prices, but sometimes I will ask a simple question.
What else could I buy in this gauge for the same money.
Dont think you are going to improve your situation by passing on that gun and I ain’t even fond of pump guns!

If I had come across that gun locally, without issues, I'd have walked out the door same day with it. Please let us know how it shoots and patterns for you.

Gentlemen,

I agree with Chukar 60, he looks at this situation exactly like I do. As a man who is not all that impressed with pump guns, I still believe that another deal would not have changed my thinking, and I would have walked out of the store with the pump gun. In fact this is exactly how I viewed the situation, when I purchased our 16 gauge Model 12 Winchester shotgun. Sometimes the situation warrants the purchase of the good gun, even when you personally are not fond of that particular type of gun. Further the same thing happened in the purchase I made of a Remington Semi-Auto 16, that I gifted to my best friend. There are times the deal is to good to actually pass up.

At the very least make an offer on the gun.

Just an FYI - it is a 'Featherlight'. Not a 'Featherweight'. "A rose by any other name..." Laughing

Well, I picked it up Friday morning and it is every bit as clean as it shows in the pictures. I’m really happy with it so far. Now I just need to take it out and waste the 3 boxes of ammo that came with it!

Apparently this was my week because I’ve got a 1953 model Sportsman 48 lined up to come home. It was too cheap to walk away from and in great shape. It’s not a 16ga but will be my first 20ga.

spittinfire,

Nothing wrong with a model 48 20 gauge, nice little guns for sure.

The light engraving on the Model 58 16 gauge is kind of cool, especially if you happen to be a Quail hunter!

My best friends 16 gauge Model 58, one sweet shooting bird gun.
