I have a 1895 model in .405 made in 1910 which is in great shape and shoots well, how would I contact interested parties.

Your biggest market is to post it on GunBroker.com. This will help ensure the most folks see it and get you the best price. Post the link for us if you go that route so we can see it and bid as well. Good luck!

I agree that the highest prices are often attained on gunbroker. However, if you are new to gunbroker and not an established seller, I would expect that many of the usual bidders will be reluctant to participate. We have some members here who are gunbroker sellers and are highly successful at attaining top winning bids. They are also well-established, have a strong following, experts at posting quality photos, known for their honest dealings and so on. That type reputation needs to be earned, and if you haven’t established that, your result will likely not be as strong.
The good news is a M1895 .405 is a very desirable and popular item. It will automatically attract interest.
By the way, is it a takedown? Crescent or shotgun butt? Lyman long receiver sight? Any modifications? Feel free to post photos and we will happily give you a more detailed opinion.

No one ever regrets keeping their Winchester! You can always change your mind on selling it but once you do that is it. Enjoy it my friend!

Good Afternoon Shane,
Just for your information…..I buy quite a number of firearms , as I am out control. However. I do not do auctions .
That being said ….I have not bought anything from this site either . I do not log on often.
Happy New Year.
Best,
Chuck

Very wise Chuck.
I have found auction houses are sometimes convenient, but mostly disappointments.
No matter what, they tend to be disappointing as the “middle men”. I prefer old school sales,
like WACA for instance.

I’m showing my old school ways but I enjoy prowling gun shops and collector shows. Selling a gun in those situations won’t get you top dollar but it will probably result in a quick sale if you are reasonable in your expectations. For an unusual gun that may benefit from a considerable marketing effort it’s hard to beat a good auction house. For the most part I enjoy the entertainment and eye candy the big auction houses provide. They let us see guns we would never see otherwise and provide data for surveys and other research efforts.
