Remington 90-T

"One of my favorite things to do in the Fall, is take my step-son to the Turkey Shoots. For those of you that may not know what I'm talking about, a Turkey Shoot is where a bunch of guys bring their shot guns to an event usually sponsored by a Community Center or Volunteer Fire Department. The sponsor provides the shells and paper targets and the shooters pay $3 to $5 to compete for a prize (usually a ham, turkey, slab of bacon, sausage, etc.)." "I bought this gun to take to the Turkey Shoots this coming Fall. I haven't had an opportunity to fire it yet, but I'm really looking forward to it and I'm hoping it turns out to be a keeper."

Remington Model 90-T: A Single-Shot 12 Gauge Trap gun with a 34" bbl, Full Fixed Choke, low vent rib and adjustable comb stock.

The internet has changed many things in our lives (or at least for those of us who use it to its fullest potential). The internet has done two major things for and to collectors (no matter what they collect).

• PROVIDES A MARKET - First, it allows the collector to more easily find (or buy, sell or trade) whatever he/she collects. In this case we're concerned with collecting guns. There are auctions where guns are bought and sold daily. I will provide some links later. If you are looking for a hard to find gun with very specific characteristics, chances are that sooner or later you will find it on the internet.
• PUBLICIZES MARKET VALUES - Secondly, it's easier than ever before to find out what something is worth. This has an upside and downside for collectors.

The internet practically insures that you can find the gun you want to buy, but there may be fewer "bargains" to be found. This is because everyone can see what others are selling for. The internet also practically insures that you can find a buyer for the gun you want to sell, but there may be more competition from other sellers that may hold down the price you can get.

In the old days, if you were the only person in your geographic area with a particular gun for sale, you might get a higher price because the buyer may have to go to great expense just to locate another one. Not so today!

Remington, Browning, Parker and Ithaca Shotguns are my favorite Shotguns:
