Older, less desirable shotguns

[Madhouse]

Does anyone know of a place that buys older, less-desirable shotguns? I have at least two that were given to me that are just collecting dust. I'm hoping to find someone who would like to have them, possibly restore or retrofit them.

• WesternField Model M175B 20 Ga, "C-Lect choke", bolt action, 26" barrel, chambered for 2 3/4" and 3" shells, blind box mag
• Marlin, Glenfield Model 778 12 Ga, whopping 40" barrel, pump action, chambered for 2 3/4" and 3" shells

Thanks for any input.

Why don’t you post‘em here in the classifieds section?

Yes sir, I probably will, just wondering if there was a one-stop shop that might take them both.

Probably an LGS might do a consignment for you, or even buy them outright. Or, there’s always a pawn shop, but expect half value going through them. Personally, I’d try here first. If it doesn’t work then might see if you can get a consignment at an LGS. Last resort would be to sell to a flipper like a pawn.

Awesome, I appreciate that input sir!

Could also look at numrich, dont know if they take full guns but worth a shot

Depending upon price, I might be interested.

PM if interested in selling.

I appreciate all of the input gents. I'll start for sale threads if needed, but there seems to possibly be interest already, so here are a couple of pics. The barrel on that Marlin was just too damn long to get all in the shot, lol.

I never intended this to be a for sale thread, so if the mods prefer, I can make those posts as well.

Sell them here but don't expect to get much.
I sold three for $100 each.

 

[Madhouse]

Sure thing, my only real concern is that they go to someone who can make use of them.

I see 2 truck guns, or next to the door guns. $200.00 for both hell yeah

Love this forum, already found a user for the Marlin who can work with it.

A vice, hacksaw and a file will turn that Glenfield into a very nice shotgun. That what I did with a S&W 3000 pump I found for $70 on Gunbroker.

I sure do appreciate everyone's input and counsel. The Marlin is already with it's new owner, and I will post the Westernfield in a for sale ad.

Dammit!
It was speaking to me.

A 40" barrel. Wow! Didn't know they made them that length.

 

[GasGuzzler]

I need the trigger guard off the Western Field but you're too far away.

 

[motorcarman]

40" barrel sounds like a serious Goose or Duck gun! (or ACK ACK for low aircraft?)

There's no way a duck or goose can hold up or even fire that.
