    I've got one chambered for 22 short, long, + long rifle. Was the model 51 + 55 the only models to be chamber for all 3? How do I tell them apart?

    Hi, welcome to the forum.

    In fair conditon your 027 has a book of approx. $150 so lets range it at $100-150 to allow for condition.

    I agree with what I've see written here but would add that demand is a bit regional with these guns. I grew up about 25 miles from Plymouth Mi. and they are of course a bit better respected in that area. An awful lot of youngsters cut their teeth on these little gems and nostalgia being what it is, you can find the right person at the right time occasionally. Still, I would not expect to get a WHOLE lot for it and would try to hand it down for the family! Grandpa's gun is always infinitely 'cooler' than anyone elses!

    This ones a little high but seems to be in good condition. I have several models of these, most were bought for less than $150.
