    Trench collection sold on gunrunner auction

    Did anyone checkout gunrunner auctions this month





    they sold a Remington model 10 for $3500 that looked correct. A correct looking Stevens 620 for $3500. A really nice M12 for $5500. But most interestingly a Winchester model 1200 for $3600. I have read bruce Canfield’s book and military 1200 are supposedly rare as hens teeth. It looks cool, but $3600......

      That's some really nice guns!
      The owner went into the wrong auction site.
      Didn't a correct M10 go for $70K recently?
      The WWI trench went way too cheap.

        I thought the selling prices were fairly reasonable. Seller and buyer each got fair deals, IMHO. Hell, $3500 for a Stevens I would let mine go for that. What about the Winchester 1200 do people think that is legit military shotgun. I have never seen one before this. It certainly has the patina of a firearm that was used by the military, however the only marking is a U.S. stamp on the barrel. If it was the real deal then $3600 is prob a steal, but how do you know. I couldnt find any real information on them other than they a few were used in Vietnam, and are rare.

          If a M10 went for $70K, the seller got screwed.
          Same with the WWI 97 trench, today that has to be a $10K gun.
          The M12 trench also sold too cheap.
          Because those two guns were in amazing condition.
