A relative of mine gave me a Browning 20 gauge
That was bought in 1974 that looks like it just came off the assembly line to give to my grandson with the stipulation it will stay in the family. My question is how much is the gun worth on the market. It does not have a scratch mark or a rust spot anywhere on it.
I am drinking from my saucer cause my cup has overflowed. Thank you Lord

I just bought 2 Sweet 16’s for 1400 each. They are mint condition with the original Browning plugs. I know this was a great deal but they can still be had without breaking the bank. I usually say 1200 is a fair price for a Belgium made A5 in 12 gauge that is in fantastic shape. The 20’s are a step up higher. I like the Magnums in 12 gauge myself. Probably one of the greatest guns ever built was an A5. John Browning was a mechanical genius!
You have received a special gift so make sure to send a thank you card to your benefactor! B
I can't stand a thief.

When I was guiding, I’d hunt every year with an old man named Richard Cochran. He owned a large industrial scale company in Lafayette. He hunted all over the world but his favorite hunts were in the marsh with us. I got to know him really well and would really take care of him as he got older. I went as far as building a platform blind that was real easy for him to get in and out of. We hunted out of fiberglass tanks and he couldn’t get in them anymore. He always hunted with a really nice Browning B80 I believe it was. It was the semi auto that you would load on the side plate. I’d always tell him how I just loved that little gun. One morning we were in the blind and we had gotten the limit and was just enjoying the morning drink coffee and talking. He loved to talk. As we were getting ready to leave I took his gun and gently put it in the case and set it in the boat. He looked at me and told me that he’d was going to leave that gun to me when he died and he was going to have his secretary document it. I was like, ok I appreciate that. Thinking he was just poking fun at me. He had no kids or family around him. A year later I got a call from a number I didn’t recognize but answered anyway. It was his secretary informing me that Mr. Cochran had passed and that he wanted me to have a shotgun of his. I was almost floored. Not sure more from the news of his passing or that he actually left me the gun. She was telling me that he had left one of his other guns to her son but he would have to grow into it. It was a 12ga shotgun. I told that I really wanted that 20ga shotgun but I didn’t need it and that I wanted her to keep it and give it to her son. She wouldn’t hear of it and we squabbled back and forth and she finally agreed. I hope that young man is still shooting that gun or has passed it to one of his kids as this was over 20yrs ago.
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.

Great story; one of my former duck hunting buddies(RIP Sam Lewis) hunted with a B80. Those are made by Beretta and are basically a Beretta 302/303. Good guns
