Ask Marc

Send me a question and I will try to find an answer.

This Page Last Updated 07/03/2010

Welcome to my question and answer page!!

From this page you can ask me a question about firearms, gun safety or approximate gun values.

Please don't be afraid of sending dumb questions!!!  There are no dumb questions when firearms are concerned.

"The key to wisdom is this -- constant and frequent questioning ...for by doubting we are led to question and by questioning we arrive at the truth."
Peter Abelard  (1099-1142)  Source: Sic et non, c. 1120

I will personally reply to each submitted question.  If I don't have an answer for you, I will try to point you in a direction where you can find it.

I used to post the questions and answers on this page, but after receiving over five hundred (500+) questions, it got to be too much for me to keep up with.

I will not be posting anymore questions and answers, but will instead simply try to answer each question on a first come, first served basis and reply individually to each visitor.

Firearm Values

If you have a firearm values question:

• Please Be as specific as possible about the firearm.  Manufacturer, Model Number, Serial Number, Prefix, Suffix, Age, Stamps and whatever else you can think of.

• Try your best to give me an approximate percentage grading as to the current condition of the gun I.E. 98%,  95%,  80% etc.

• If your particular model of gun is difficult to ascertain or if it has significant collectors value, I will be very hesitant to give you a value, because I'm not a firearm appraiser.

The best place to go for real firearm appraisals are the pros at www.gun-appraisals.com.  If you are an NRA member, you can go here www.gun-appraisals.com/nra.cfm and get a 10% discount.
