For many years (35) I have relied on this book as a guide to firearms values. It is the most complete gun guide published.

(Hide Review...)  The Standard
Reviewer Permalink
This is the standard for gun values. It is the one I see used by the dealers at all the gunshows. While it is not perfect, it is a the most information I have ever seen about gun values in one place. Some information may be in error, but given the sheer volume of entries, the errors are minor. I have been studying guns for over thirty-five years, and was amazed at how many guns and makers were listed that I had never heard of. Buy this one if you want to get fair value in your gun deals.

Updated and informative reference on gun values. Extensive listings. With many changes in the firearms industry nothing can be completely current; however, this book is as close as you will get.

It's the Gun buyers Bible. Almost any gun you can imagine is priced here. And awesome research sections as well. If you are into Firearms in anyway this book would interest you. Great even just to thumb thru to see whats been produced over time.

This product is by far the most up to date available for the gun collector. What is really neat is that identifying guns from one era to the next and one model year to the next continually improves and makes the entire experience very convenient and simple.

Reviewer Permalink
If you buy, sell, or inherit a gun...you probably want to know what is worth. This is the book to tell you. The rating system, to tell you what condition your gun is in, is a little confusing for a novice, but not too bad.

My library did carry this, but they only had an older edition. You might want to check that first.

(Hide Review...)  The best (book) source on gun values.
Reviewer Permalink
The blue book of gun values is the best publication of it's type. However, it's not perfect. The biggest problem is that many prices in the book simply don't reflect the going rate. This is mainly true for models recently discontinued ~ in the last 2-3 years (for example HK P7 series are WAY off of actual street price) as well as any "assault weapons" that seem to change rates on every rumor of new litigation. So, while it is a good resource, you end up double checking online sites like AuctionArms and Gunbroker to determine price anyway. Also, many gunstores seem to refer to this publivation when buying, but it's strangly absent in their arguments as to why their used stock is priced so high.... That said, it IS the best of what's out in the printed world, so it gets 4 stars in my book.

(Hide Review...)  Good Basic Gun book
Reviewer Permalink
If you need just a quick and dirty "appraisal" of your firearms, this is the place to go. You can see in an instant if you are getting the best price for your firearms, or if someone is trying to rip you off! All of the manufacturers options are listed too, so don't believe the guy that tells you he paid extra for an option that doesn't even exist. This is a good place to start, for beginners to experts. Well laid out, easy to find info.

(Hide Review...)  Gun Trader Blue Book
Reviewer Permalink
The book is a basic guide used by dealers. However, it is only a guide and a guns condition is the biggest factor. Beware of mediocre guns priced at 98% condition. Alot of dealers value or price all their guns at or far above the 100% condition value. After years of trading, I dont understand where the value estimates come from. A guns rareity also plays a big part in its pricing. Condition should be the biggest pricing factor. Beware, Some guns in 100% condition are just barely saleable at any near book value. Other guns sell for many times the book value. Age and rareity dont necessary correlate to a premium price. Some brands like Colt, S&W, Ruger, Browning will command a higher price or be more saleable. Beware...dealers want to buy at 50% of the guns book value.
good luck
john
