Depends on where you try to sell it. For example, try and take it to a Gander Mountain and they'll tell how great of a gun it is (which I agree) but will then tell you that they have a policy in place to not buy Ithaca model 51's. The reason is the replacement parts are too expensive; thus making the gun, in there eyes, essentially worthless. Consider it a "niche" market. Someone has to be looking for THAT gun, not just A gun.
An Ithaca model 51 magnum 3 inch shotgun is worth $275-$325, depending on condition.
Send me your email & I'll send you a scan of the Ithaca model 51 exploded view & bolt buffer.
If the Model 51 is in very good condition it should bring $250 - $300.
Browning never made a Model 51 shotgun.
This model sells anywhere from 250 dollars to 500 dollars. The determining factors are, as always what kind of condition the firearm is in.
i had a model 51 410 shotgun given to me and wanted to learn about its value
