I recently purchased a post recall Remington 3200 Trap with original box and manual.

I bought it from the son of the original owner, he couldn’t remember his dad shooting it ever. Looks to have been shot very little. Very nice wood with a few small marks, no scratches. Metal is in excellent condition. 30” full/IM. Small crack in forearm that has been repaired. Ejector springs have been removed and are in a baggie.

Trying to decide whether to keep it or sell it. If I keep it, what insurance value should I tell my agent, if I sell it, what would be a fair price?

Thanks!

Mine was a 1974. Paid $400? Never had a problem. Finally wore parts of it out. Sent it to Pat for repair. Works like new.
It is now stored in my safe as only people that like them have one. I

Good luck
What did you pay for it?

 

[nitro27man]

Around $1500. IF it has the updates to the receiver. Is there a "." between the OU and the serial number?

If you like shot guns KEEP IT !

 

[jklund38]

Here is the serial #, I bought it as part of a package, but probably paid around $1,200 if you figure out what I paid for each gun as part of the package.

Sold a Special trap for $1200 - $1300 couple years ago, was not new but had been well taken care of.

I feel that $1200 is more than fair for a 3200 with updates completed. There are two in my local market for that price and one is like new condition.

I sold mine (Special Trap) with box and papers for $1200.00 in Jan. It had the updates and was mint. Kinda wish I'd kept it now...

It's like asking a classic car guy if he should sell a nice '57 Chevy 2 door hardtop in excellent condition. Of course keep it.

Save yourself the trouble and cost of having it repaired in the future. If you really want to know it's current value, list it on GB with no minimum bid and no reserve. Invest the proceeds in your brokerage account. The best financial move you can make.

problem is both the cracked forearm and why it cracked .. Both affect value as well as interest

My thoughts.

Insurance value $2000
I have been seeing prices starting at $1600+
On the very high end. Doubt they sell for that.

If it is going to be actually used and more than a safe queen
More updates will be needed after much use.
Any knowledgeable buyer knows the wood cracks are common and should deduct from price for repair costs.

If selling it, I would not let it go for less than $1600. A new forend is not that expensive.

That gun has only one pin through the receiver and the receiver updates were incorporated at the time of manufacture. In my opinion, the one pin guns are more desirable than those updated after manufacture. The forend iron can be reinforced by Laib's at a reasonable cost and will help prevent cracks in the forend. I think updated two pin guns in that condition should be about $12oo and one pin guns like this one, $1500.

 

[nitro27man]

I think you got your pins backwards.

Great guns I’ve owned a few of them. Great trigger! Keep an eye on that forend crack.

 

[jklund38]

Thanks all, I really appreciate the insight!

They all need to be glass bed if your going to shoot them much.
