Opinions please

I am trying to determine a fair price for a Mossberg 12 ga barrel that has the C-lect choke on it. Obviously, the barrel is older with having that set up. I'm trying to figure out what I should make as a decent offer.
Thanks for the help

Condition is everything and you have given us no info related to anything other than the gauge: so value could be anywhere from $10 to $300.

Well, the barrel is shiny and the bluing is mostly still there , not perfect by any means but not rusty. I don't know what else could be said about a shotgun barrel well, except maybe it is about 26" long

Assuming it is for a M500, maybe $50-$75. Those muzzle bulge dial-a-duck chokes are way less popular than contemporary screw in chokes.

Thank you! I guess the guy is all wet at asking $150 for it. He is not willing to move so much as a penny. I just want a bit of a shorter barrel for my 500A because I find the 30 or 32 inch just way to front heavy for my liking.
Thanks again.

Tiriaq is right. $75 tops. $150 is a goofy price for an old c-lect choke 500 barrel. I've see whole Mossberg and Lakefield 500 (same gun) shotguns sell for about $200.

Thank you! I have walked away from that deal. I have a really nice Mossberg 500A with a selection of barrels, including the black powder barrel and a slug barrel with the cantilevered scope mount. I was just going to add that barrel to the collection but not at $150.00 thanks again!

$150 sounds steep for a c-lekt choke barrel, but $75 sounds like a steal for basically ANY Mossberg barrel. The problem with Mossberg barrels is there isn't a lot of availability when compared to the Rem870, and this means prices can be pretty silly. And if you think used prices are stupid you should look at new prices! That is if you can even find stock...

Paid 170 for a 870 deer barrel and 140 for a Auto 5 3 inch 20 gauge barrel. Thought that was enough.

Add a bit of weight to your butt stock will balance that front heavy feeling...

Thanks! I hadn't thought of that.
I don't use it much, matter of fact, I've never ever fired it, just shouldered it a couple of times.

There us a whole M500 with c lect choke in the EE right now . For a few hundred more .
