Shotgun gurus, harken.

I was recently left a couple of old shotguns by my last uncle. Actually, he left me several old "family" guns, plus these two which don't fall in that favored category. Anyway, I decided to just sell them. One is a nice old Remington 870 (12 ga) from 1951 and the other is a Winchester Model 37 (20 ga), date unknown.

As I was writing up my ad to place these in the classifieds, I began to think that I just might keep the 37, figuring a single shot wouldn't be worth more that $100-$150. Anyway, I did a little Google research and to my surprise they're worth more than that.

My inspection convinces me that they are constructed better than the normal single shot you see out there. Anybody out there had any experience with them?

By the way, the "family" guns included a Remington 241 .22lr and a Winchester 67 .22lr. Cool old guns.

Well, looks like I'm not the only one not familiar with a Model 37 Steelbuilt. I'm tempted to keep it, even though I have no real use for it. Decisions, decisions.

I sold a Win 37 20ga "steelbuilt" this past year for around $175. If it's in good shape & a family gun I'd keep it.

I probably will.

The winchester model 67 was my first gun. They have really narrow, fine sights, and they are a tack driver in the right person's hands. Any chance you will be selling it? Whoops, went back and reread your post before submitting mine. Hope you enjoy the model 67. What condition is the 870 in?

I killed my first squirrel back in about 1945 with that Model 67; the first of many squirrels, rabbits, quail, etc. I'll be keeping that one till I die.

The 870 is in the classified under "2 rifles, 2 shotgauns", but I'm very close to keeping it, too, just because you can never tell.

My model 67 is one of the junkiest guns that I own. I mean that gun is rough as a cob, but it was my first gun and it belonged to an awesome uncle who is no longer with us. I will own it until I die.
