Will the Winchester 1300 series be worth more or less?

Question

since they are closing the New Haven Plant and no longer making this series of gun? It is a Winchester 1300 Turkey and also says 2 3/4 & 3" Also how much is this gun worth? It is in perfect condition except for one tiny 1 inch scratch in the middle.

Thank You

Answer 1

There were 5 different variations of the Winchester Model 1300 Turkey Shotgun made. Without knowing which one you have ,makes it impossible to give you a value. Laminated Stock?, Synthetic Stock? Vent Rib Barrel?

Your shotgun was in fact mass produced and due to the high numbers of these being made, there is no collectors value over and above the gun's value on this model shotgun. With Winchester being sold, limited production guns will appreciate in value, going up in price, but not a standard/field grade gun such as yours. If you let me know the additional information I've listed above, I will be happy to give you an accurate value on your Shotgun

Answer 2

Well, Winchester quit making guns a year ago, and my dad bought a 1300 right after they quit making guns. Its a 20 gauge and has been shot maybe 50 times, and he got it for $250.

Answer 3

Around $200 - $300

Answer 4

Neither. Value is based on it's functionality, not it's collectability. Take the good advice so for and go put some more scratches on it, preferably while having a lot of fun.

Answer 5

In about 100 years it will be a collector's item. Right now it is a average, run of the mill, shotgun. Go out and shoot it.

Answer 6

At the present time it is not a collectable Model.* Check on gunbroker.com for current resale value.*

Answer 7

I think that you are being optimistic, there were thousands made so it won't be a collectors piece, take it out and use it, get some fun out of it !

Answer 8

eventually more but most guns do that with enough time
