you are a gun man,i have a question for ya would you know the value of a winchester model 59 22 single shot ? the one i am looking at has a slight bulge in the barrel you can hardly see it but can feel it. It shoots ok and is accurate to 30 yards or so. I am finding a wide range of values i want to be fair on the price to this guy but not sure how much the bulge will knock off.

U know the range in value. Let the buyer figure out what he wants to pay and take it from there. Sounds like a total pile of fluff.

Ford, please evaluate farmers bulge...

I am the buyer. I buying it from an older fellow don't want to pay more than it is worth but do not want to screw him either,don't think he has a clue it might be worth more than most old winchester 22s

Not like ford is a weapons expert or anything, I would regard him as an enthusiast. I don't know why you would waste your time with a little 22 single shot anyways. You going for a thin shot and precise aim? Squirrel hunting?

Heston is a Raider fan. Also, Scott.
Cam lost to the Raiders.

Bonus?

Prolly gonna saw if off and shove it down his britches for a daily carry.

There is no holy grail .22 single shot.

Next thread should ask the value of a 2007 civic with a slight dent going down the side.

3-400 bucks is my bet.

For the .22 or the twenty oh seven civic, marshal?

for rifle, car maybe 200.

If it has physical condition issues, especially in the barrel or action, let him keep it and look at other options at gunbroker.com

A slight bulge in the barrel is not good. It means he fired a squib and stacked who knows how many bullets in the barrel and damaged it. Makes it worth about 75 bucks tops>

Sorry, RL has been a kick in the nuts recently.

I don't know wtf the previous owner had to do to a .22 barrel to buldge it, but it isnt good. I would hard pass unless it was almost scrap value.

Not sure why you want a bolt action .22 but the only .22s I own are a 10/22 and SR22. Ruger hasnt done me wrong and they are fun at the range. I suppose when my son gets a few years older I might want a bolt. Who knows.

HMR .17 is my new favorite light caliber.

I also own a 10.22 SR22 as ford just said it is a great tool. If it has a buldge, I would pass regardless of the price.

Eventually it will get worse.
