There are gun "blue books" out there you can reference. I have one thats about 2 y/o out of date but would give a close enough valuation. While better to have the make/model, if its not totally obscure, you can often find pictures in said books next to the entries and ID it that way. You could always post a pic here and someone might ID it.

I am looking to find out the value of an older Franchi 20 ga O/U, it has no model # on it that i can find. Any ideas on how to find out its value?

 

If it's from the 60's it's probably the 'old' Falconet model. On the field grade models, the receivers came in two finishes, called "Ebony" or "Buckskin," and the Falconet had an aluminum receiver. Their target-grade skeet and trap shotguns had steel receivers. These were made in 12, 16 and 20 ga. Price? I dunno, I'd have to look at the Blue Book. You can browse around the Franchi forum and maybe get an answer there. Off the top of my head, these sell for $500 and up, depending on condition and gauge, but I've heard of people finding old ones in obscure shops and getting them for less. I used to use my uncle's steel trap gun on the Chesapeake for goose hunting back in the 60's and 70's.

 

Go to my link and you can determine by the Franchi date codes when your O/U was made.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
