Decided to get rid of a gun I bought 25 years ago but never fired. Prices seem all over the place when I can find one online. Gun is unfired, wood stock was refinished by my so it's not the typical Century Arms slop finish job. Any ideas? |

Couldn't find anything here in the EE to compare it to. |

Before the ammo ban a couple years ago it would of easily fetched double but it's hard to move a 74 for top dollar right now unless it's something really rare. |

You’re going to get reasonable pricing now that the perceived commie threat is gone and everyone is in fat and happy mode. If you want the cash retards were paying circa 2020, you need another scamdemic and/or communist takeover of the country. You’re in a buyer’s market now.

Or you do a package deal with a bunch of ammo. |
Don't you tell me about galaxies! I walk them in the timeline.

The problem is nobody wants 5.45 guns because the ammo is no longer cheap or easily available. Very little point in shooting 5.45 over 5.56 except for authenticity in the 74 type rifles, or if you already have cases of it. |

Not Trump specifically, but everyone being fat and happy is a result of his being elected. It’s basically 2018 again. Had kameltoe been foisted on us, there would probably still be the panic mode due to ban talk and it would still be a seller’s market. The caliber is going to be a deterrent as well. |

Asking price means nothing compared to sold prices. |
a loaded gun won’t set you free, so you say…
