Mint Remington 241 value?

I picked this little 241 up a few years back. It has seen virtually no use at all, numbers say it was built in 1947. Any thoughts on the approximate value? I am considering selling or trading it. Wood is 98% bluing has almost no wear, I'd say 90% would be conservative. All the ORIGINAL paperwork is there including the hang tag.

The 2006 Blue Book shows a 95% 241 @ $300 and a 98% @ $375. However, I find the Blue Book to be way behind the times on good quality .22 rifles. My guess would be more like $100 over that. add the documentation you have withit and it would bring top dollar for it's condition, and I would say from the pictures you show, that it is at least a 95% in what is shown.... very nice rifle.

Jimmy,

A NIB 241 went for a cool $1,000 a little over 3 mo ago on gunbroker.com. If you are looking to sell for an upper end price, then you will be selling to a collector/hobbyist. The condition of the gun, plus the literature, should be very apealing to the select buyer.

On the other hand, if you do a search for completed "remington 241" auctions on gunbroker.com, then you will find that most go for $350 or (usually) less; however, I personally haven't seen another used one that would rate at the level of yours. Very nice gun.

If it was mine,I'd laugh at any offer under a grand.I'd just set it in there with my other half dozen 241's and smile like hell.


The last one I saw in that condition was at a gun show in Austin.It was absolutely perfect in every way and checkered,but no box or anything else.Asking price was $400 and he wouldn't budge.

I might also mention that this was when Austin had a real gun show at the old City Colliseum down by the river(now all we have is SAXET and it sucks.)

This was AT LEAST 15 years ago.

BW(Who would have jumped all over it if he would have had the $$$$.)
