KSPSRT665 Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 I have a legitimate, barn find US Army Issue M1 2.35 inch Bazooka, I first saw in in the early 1980's it was hanging in a man cave in a barn. Last year I reached out to the family of the man who had it and was able to buy it. I summited paper work to the ATF and was able to get it registered, I have ATF paper work on it and it is uncut, it is not pretty and is showing its age, but from what I can tell it is in original condition. What I don't know is what is it worth? Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmagee1917 Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 I have a minty M9A1 up for sale at $6500 . Yours is earlier , rarer , but much rougher . I'd guess at upwards of $4000 .Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSPSRT665 Posted December 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Thank you sir Yea she is rough I know with some weapons you should never restore them would i be better off to have this one worked on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalbert Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 You are correct in that firearms, generally, should not be restored. My personal opinion is that this is a different situation. This bazooka is more like a car, than a gun. It was painted originally, and is pretty rusty. The wood needs some serious attention. I think restoration could do well for it. Anyone have a different opinion? David Albertdalbert@sturmgewehr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmagee1917 Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 I would take steps to stop further destruction , but beyond that , I'd leave it to the new owner to decide .Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
