Ithaca M6 USAF Survival riffle over and under .22 hornet/.410 Cal.
Produced from late 1950s thru early 70s.
Condition is very good I think it has been in a survival bag for the majority of it's life, very little or no finish wear.
If you have knowledge of the value of this I would appreciate your input.Thanks. Pictures etc.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M6_Aircrew_Survival_Weapon

    If it hasn't been registered with the feds. Prior to 1968? (As far as I know there is no way to retroactively register it). It's not legal to own or sell.( As long as you're a resident of the USA ). Only thing that can be done with it, is to donate to a museum.

    I am familiar with the legal status of the gun my question was as to the value of the guns.

    The legality of it has a lot to do with the value. If it is NFA registered, it is worth close to $2K, or a tad more. If it is not, then it is not worth a plug nickel, as it is contraband, and subject to jail time, and a big fine.
