840 in 28ga is just a 840 worth a bit more than the more common 12 or 20. Usually sell in the 125-175 range.

Yep, that's about what I've seen Cooey's go for too.

If you decide not to buy it please let me know, I've been looking for a cheap 28ga myself.

Cheers,

I bought an 840 28 gauge in average plus condition a month ago. I paid $130.00 which included the shipping so actual gun was about $110.00 I have seen them listed for $200.00 or more but I don't believe those have sold. Now if you find a model 84 in 28 gauge, they are usually worth a fair bit more, unless junk.

thanks for all the info
I think i might just pick it up

what would a 28 ga be good for ? hunting bird I guess

 

[gunsaholic]

It would be a great light upland gun.

I just picked it up and cant want to get it out

 

[gunsaholic]

Great! Enjoy it. You will be shooting a piece of Canadian history. Now you will need to find the model 84 to go with it.

I've been looking for one of those for a while. They don't seem to turn up around here very often - if you ever want to sell it I'd be happy to make you an offer for it.

Two or three on the EE in the past three months you must have missed them.
One was rough but the other two were in nice shape.

I do know were there is a mod 84 12 ga that a guy might be willing to part with if anyone is interested .

Any thing you wanted to shoot with it.The 28 is a great gauge.

The Winchester/Cooey Model 840 was a Model 84 which was cheaper to manufacture .They used birch stocks ,plastic front hinges and alloy receivers.Some of the early Model 840s used left over Model 84 parts and had the walnut and steel instead of the less expensive parts.

Seems to me I have 3 or 4 fitting that description. All 12 Ga. Some steel some plastic. I'll have to check them out later.

The 28 gauge is a great upland field shotgun.Also used a lot in skeet shooting.

Some use it on waterfowl and a few deer have been bagged with it as well.
