    FN .22 - Query on value (on behalf)

    Hi team,

    A friend of my father's isn't renewing his license, so parting ways with a FN pump action .22. He's unsure of what to sell if for, so I offered to get an approx value on here from the combined wisdom of you lot of legends

    Is anyone able to provide a fair price estimate please? These are the only photos/details I have. If it will make a massive difference, I can ask for specific details, but want to avoid difficulty if possible.

    After this, if anyone is interested in it, I will ask him if I can put up a listing on here.

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes looks like FN branded John Browning 'trombone' - a takedown 22 made from about 1920-1970. Pump actions not favoured much these days - don't know why - but yes $450-550 to some buyers depending on condition. Will be a collector's piece one day..

    Would be worth more if it didnt have the dreaded thread on the end . Kills it for collector value , but 450-500 would be a fair estimate from me .

    But I think he's asking too much in this current market.
    A good job and a good wife has been the ruin of many a good hunter.

    But the TM one is in way better condition , and not altered or missing parts.

    Still overpriced , and been listed for a while now.

    Yeah I've got one, hand me down from my grandfather. Used to hunt with it as a kid. Action is super smooth. Looks like it's had a stock replacement - the original stocks had a rep for cracking at the front.

    One thing to be aware of is that mag is rated at 11 shots (according to the manual, but buggered if I could get 11 in there) so it is rated as a naughty gun. It may be worth double checking with the FSA. I got mine modified to be a good gun (can only actually fit 9 rounds in it now).
