A guy is thinking about selling me a Stevens .410 o/u , it has a stock that is either plastic or may even pre-date plastic. If the gun is in good shape, approximately what would this gun be worth.
Here is something about it from 2nd ed of Shotgun Digest:
"Possibly the sleeper of the decade, this little .410-bore over/under is a visible hammer takedown featuring twenty-six-inch full-choke barrels. The gun was manufactured from 1939 to 1942, weighing only six pounds. Although a few early guns feature walnut woodwork, the majority came with Tenite - a plastic stock and forend.....the mere fact that used models can be found for about $40 (ca. 1980) means it is selling for one-tenth the price of its nearest competitor..." Current value for one in very good condition seems to be in $350 to $400 range so it's no longer sleeper of this decade.
