The Blue Book of Gun Values is one of the most widely accepted books on the value of firearms. There are still some gaps in its listings and other information, but at 2176 pages, you can imagine there are not many. In addition, there are sections on how to grade the condition of a firearm. The largest gaps are in categories such as air rifles and pistols, black powder rifles and pistols and antiques. One of my few complaints about this is how thin the paper is, but at the number of pages, if they were regular thickness, it would have to be in multiple books. In summary, I highly recommend this book to anyone that is interested in buying, selling or estimating the value of firearms.
We are gun enthusiasts, collectors and have several older issues of the "Blue Book of Gun Values". We bought the book because we wanted a newer issue to keep up with current values. This book is very accurate and discriptive, and it was in exellent condition. A new issue is published every year and we will continue to buy newer issues.
I have always trusted the pricing of the blue book I have used it for 15 years and update every 2 years with a new one, they are on the money and updated accurate with the winchester prices although iver johnson and stevens guns are priced way lower than what they actually sel for. Colt is on the money
There are many publications that deal with fire arm values but The Blue Book of Gun Values more closely matches the value of the weapon, even with recognized differences between reagions. Other publications focus on pictures to guide the user and others provide a more comprehensive list of serial numbers to identify the age of a weapon. I would like to see the Lue Book maintain it's structure, forget about the pictures but expand the serial number references to guide the user.
great information
