so my BIL wants to trade Dad's old trap gun for a 9mm pistol. Nancy's dad was an avid shooter and hunter. I've been told he had a collection of very nice rifles and shotguns, some of which I have now, but they are all broken/junk except for a Krag. BIL "inherited" all of Dads guns and sold all of the ones that were worth owning except this one, apparently. I suspect that he cannot sell it or it is worth next to nothing or something for him to come crawling to me for a trade. gun appears to be in excellent condition based on the photos, and I believe it is the entry level model. Do any of you scattergun gurus know anything about these? I would guess that it was manufactured before 1970.

Post a few pics of it. I have a 101 diamond grade trap. I could also look at my blue book of guns.
Here is something to compare it to. I paid 1500 for mine if it's worth anything to u

I’m familiar with 101 O/Us but didn’t know they made a single barrel version. They were made in Japan, good guns for low volume shooters but weren’t up to high volume shooting. Good field or starter target guns. Browning BT99 from that era can be bought around $7-900. I’d guess this is a couple hundred below that. The longer the barrel (32” or longer) helps with price.

I should clarify what I meant by the term "high volume". There are trap shooters the shoot 10,000 or 20,000 rounds a year or more. If you are the occasional trap shooter or just starting a 101 is a very serviceable option.
Also Nathan's Diamond grade is worth much more than a standard grade.

lol, I did in fact end up trading a Smith & Wesson 3913 police trade-in with three mags for this shotgun, which I will likely not ever use. Nancy wanted it because it belonged to her Dad, her brother wanted a starter handgun, and I won't miss that old 9mm. had to teach him how to shoot it. everyone happy, and it was a fair trade.
Did you read the post? It is a sentimental family heirloom. Never once did I see where it was for sale.

I think we have some moles infiltrating.
I'm watching from the sidelines. Both IPs checkout and when that happens, I'm willing to give a little rope. I agree, it's odd, but it's not yet blatant spam, so we'll allow it to persist until otherwise deemed full-fledged spam.
