Is 600 bucks for a SP-10 , 30 inch barrel and all chokes a good deal? Has anyone bought a gun out of state? If so how do you reccomend paying for it and what needs to be done? Thanks Roy Please Respond asap guys. If its a good deal i dont want to let it slip away.
Thanks Roy
Roy,
That sounds like a pretty good buy if it it's say 90% shape or so. I like using gunbroker as a guide to what kind of price guns are bringing and what people or actually willing to pay if you follow the auctions. This may help.

Type in SP10 in the search box.

ILIKEHEVI-13,
I did look at gunbroker and the cheapest one i seen was 750 and still had a couple days left on bidding. I did a google search and cheapest was 800. I'm waiting on pics but the guy said it was in good shape with just a couple nicks in the wood. Thought it would be a nice find since they dont make them anymore.
Thanks Roy
I'll add that even though they no longer make these guns, that if you can find one say 90% or slightly better and pay less than say $750 or close to it that would be a pretty good deal if you in fact want one and don't mind the weight.
Grab it ! ! ! For 600, it's a deal :icon_thumright: post pics when you get it
yea,grab it.i paid 600 for mine 13 years ago and thought i got a deal then.it is a heck of a gun,thats for sure.
if you dont want it i will
:icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :agreed:
That's a steal!
Well I finally got a pic and it looks pretty rough barrel looks good but bluing is rubbed off on trigger guard (looks dinged up too) and wood is scratched up pretty bad. Think I'm going to pass.
That's what I meant by depends on the shape. A banged up bad shape gun ain't worth much to me even if it is a $1000 pus gun.
The resale value of sp10's and NEF's may shoot up if EM's new 10 gauge Magnum Blend load shoots well ,in September we will find out
I stand corrected. I thought Remington in the 90's at some point stop making them due to lack of sales. I'll have to check on that for sure. I checked Rem website and they are showing them. So I stand corrected.
I called Remington a few months ago and was told they have stopped producing the SP10.
They are discontinued they have them on the site still but if you go to specifications and look at status they all say discontinued.
Well I think I remember say around 1999 there was talk of Rem stopping production on the SP10 due to lack of sales. I don't know the specific year that they stopped actually making them though. But I thought I was correct that they are in fact no longer made.

I have not heard this.... far as I know, Remington is still producing them.
I got an e-mail from Gander Mtn the other day... had Free Shipping on their used guns... there were several SP-10's for $600-$800 that were in near new condition.
Remington unfortuently discontinued the SP-10 line.
I did find out that 1989 was the year Rem introduced the SP10.
Found this about what this guy said on another forum.

a buddy of mine owns a gun shop and he told me that remington stopped producing the sp10 this month so all they have left is what they just made and whatever they have left to build they're still going to carry parts for them just not produce them
he's ordering 15 of them and me my dad and a few people we know are getting our hands on them while we can
oh and all they have is synthetic camo's
Although they are discontinuing the SP-10 for the most part, I think they are still going to make the 23" Rem Choke, Thumb Hole Stock, Turkey, Full Mossy Oak Obsession Camo. For how long who knows? That could also change too.
I have a SP-10 that I will probably put on Gunbroker in the fall. I'll give a heads up to the board before I do so anyone who is interested can take a look. It's in excellent condition. Great guns they are but I'm getting to old to use it anymore.
My son had one and it worked well in the goose blind but not for carrying around for turkeys. That's one heavy shotgun but to each his own.

Talk him down, due to condition, and then get it camo dipped. Problem solved. :icon_thumright:
