Need a realistic price check for a model 32 , O/U ,12g , low serial number , I believe it has 32” barrels , selector on trigger guard for which barrel fires first , bluing decent , some scrolling on the action and trigger guard , wood could be nice but it buried under umpteen coats of very old finish .
Obviously pictures and condition matter but I’ve seen some crazy variations in values and have read people saying if you ever see one grab it - the build quality was just that good / desirable.
It’s going up for sale locally I just want to be fair to lady who’s selling it
Thx in advance
 
Crazy variations in prices would be for high grade guns F grade in 95% condition. Now your gun standard grade in need of attention but still in good engough condition that it is shootable . $1500.00 $2500.00 . Now you have to find someone that has a interest in such a gun , Back in the day late 60’ S 70’s every now and then one would show up at the local trap club .
 
I owned a pair of 3200 which is the new version of the 32 I never shot them well had a hard time getting rid of them I can't see the 32 going for big money IMHO

Been about 18 years since I sold my last one
Had all the required mods in a nice hard case with a full set of old style tubes 20-410 and I got like 1500 bucks and was lucky to get that IMO
No demand for them today
As far as grab it?? More like leave it IMO
Cheers
 
You don't see many M32's around because it's my understanding that they only made around 6000 of them. Despite the low production numbers there doesn't seem to be many M32 collectors and the ones that do collect them want them in pristine and original condition. I'd say that the gun your talking about would have to be pretty nice to bring over $1500.

Yep and all of the ones I have seen have the poop shot out of them.Still ok but
Those were the years 25,000 rounds was the norm for many
Average shooters were not holding 32's at the club in those years it was the die hards

Never understood some of the 32 hype in either the Rem or the Krieghoff? I'd rather have a superposed.

It was the normal progression back in the day. I did it and never shot any better but some thought it made them cool and allowed them to hang with the so called crowd
Biggest mistake I ever made was going that route and giving up a 4 barrel set of 101's
Cheers

I wouldn’t pay 5$ for one...

But Sure do appreciate you wanting to pay a somebody less knowledgeable a fair market price.

Keep in mind sometimes things are only worth what someone will pay.

Having been involved in several estate sales sometimes stuff just needs to go after a certain amount of time.

I agree 100% in this case

Not sure what 3200’s have to do with evaluating a 32 but it’s seems on these threads staying on topic is not really a requirement

I was trying to state that the 32 and the 3200 are basically the same gun and my 3200 sold for not a lot of money . Off topic ? Sorry for trying to help.

Ahh don't let Struff55 get to you. He is a good old guy with a lot of knowledge but like all of us old farts cranky some times LOL
The 32 won't sell for a lot of money either in 2020
Cheers

The 3200 is technically the replacement for the 32, but the 32 is much more desirable. Desirable to the point that when Rem discontinued it a high end shotgun company decided to go into the business of cloning them and selling them for 10s of thousands of dollars.

I saw one sell for $1500-2000 in 2019. Krieghoff guys love having one in the safe for the history and they aren't generally short on cash.

Not saying it isn't possible. Just saying a very limited market in 2020 and may take time to find that guy if out there
I owned one and a K-32 after and I would not buy another old rem
Biggest difference if I can recall is the old rem 32 the receiver and fore end are NOT case hardened like a K and soft. Some think an old rem32 is better than an early k32 and in most times it is not

The Early Krieghoffs (Late 50's and early 60's)are called TRANSITION GUNS the internal mechanism was very different than the later model 32 and was practically identical to the Remington Model 32. During the early 60's Krieghoff completely redesigned the internals. Just about everything was changed except the top latch and opening lever. Sears were not only different but worked in a different way. The trigger was completely redesigned.

Krieghoff bought the patents and plans for the Remington 32 in 1956. The Remington 32 was introduced in 1931 and, as such, had different mettalurgy, machining techniques etc. Remington couldn't make any money with the R32 so sold it to Krieghoff. As 3macs says, the early K32's used a lot of Remington parts and processes but the later ones changed the trigger, metallury and internals. The Remington 3200 was Remington's attempt to get back in the O/U game in the 70's. They look like R32s and K32s but share no little internal parts and have no bearing on the OP's original question. No idea of a fair price but I imagine 1000.00 -2000.00 would be a start.

Personally, I don't have any use for Krieghoff's either. I'm just telling you what I've watched go down.
