I've found a Model 8 Law Enforcement model with one 20 rd magazine. I'd say the bluing is 93-95%, maybe a little better. Can someone give me a ballpark figure on what it may be worth.,
So far the owner doesn't want to sell and will think on it. I mentioned I've seen Model 8/81's go for btw $800-1200, and he said he wouldn't sell it at that price. Hence my question.
It's in 35 Remington.
Thank-you for your help
Value
Re: Value
Hey biglou13,
Welcome to the forum. Value is hard to determine without seeing the rifle. The price is all over the place but I would say that the average price for the police models is in the $3000-4000 range.
To the best of my knowledge, and some other resident experts, the Police Models were never made with a 20 shot removable magazine. The POE only made 15 shot magazines as a maximum. There are a few 5 shot magazines and even fewer 10 shot magazines. If it is indeed a 20 shot magazine someone would have had to modify an existing magazine. I would suggest you check the capacity to verify the magazine capacity.
What law enforcement agency that had the rifle?
