Help with an O/U

[NolanOsborn]

Hi all, I've got an Ithaca SKB 700 trap, and I'm trying to get an idea of what it is worth if I want to sell it.
Seems there isn't a ton of info out there and I'm having a hard time getting a price.
It's got 30" full and full tubes with French walnut and the typical silver nitrate rolled engraving.

$600 to $900 depending on Condition
I own a 32" version fixed choke F/M with chrome bores I shoot in bad (wet) weather pull the fore-end a quick spray with WD40 mop the bores wipe it down and put it away. They have a bit of an appetite for lever springs as they start popping open and hammer springs occasional light hits all are leaf type springs. If you are going to keep it pick up a few they are out of business and the new company is not in Japan but Turkey. On the positive I consider it a better buy then other foreign guns by lesser manufacturers that you can not get parts or service for from day one. The build quality is Japanese the steels used are above question, they are precise and hand fit.
I bought one recently for my oldest son a SKB 500 Excellent condition for $450 shipped replaced all springs and hope he gets several years out of it at Victoria Fish and Game.
Good luck hope you sell it or get it out and shoot, its no collector but lots of fun and grinds them up if you do your part.

Thanks, it's in pretty good condition. VG perhaps

As stated above. They are not big $$ guns and being older with fixed chokes, non-adjustable combs etc. makes for a limited market.

Thanks for the update, I did see that SKB stocks and sells all metallic parts for the 700 still.

They are kind of an underrated gun IMO. I always felt they were quite well made and durable.
