Just wondering if you guys could give me an idea of what I should ask for my m6. I bought this new, got the box, the manual, and the soft case that holds it folded. It is stainless steel and has been shot bout 50 rounds. I was thinking bout putting it on gunbroker. Thanks in advance for any advice.
 
Is it the .22LR version or the .22 Hornet? But, seriously, screw gun broker. Depending on what you want for it, we might could arrange a FTF :D Or, if not me, one of the other locals.
 
I have been wanting one of those for a long time! Sent you a visitor messege.

To answer your question, I would check out the kelly bluebook of guns, or go to your local gun shop and talk to somebody working there about pricing.

Eh. If he's willing, go ahead. My wife will kill me if I buy anything else. :p

Ha, I hear ya! Not trying to hijack the thread, I edited my original post so this thread does not turn into something that should be on the exchange. Figured what I wrote was best left to a visitor messege.
 
Send me a private message. I'd be willing to help you get rid of it and I have a few FFL dealers to work with.
 
I was going to suggest Gunbroker...but there are much more deserving members on WSS that it would be much better suited to...and they would give you a fair deal.

Took mine to the range today. I had a Trijicon Reflex for some while, not being used...it's a perfect fit (plus no need for batteries)!!! I couldn't get a good picture of the reticle, but it's the amber triangle. It's dialed in for .22LR...minute of squirrel head at 30 yards:D Slugs just plain sucked, but the OO buckshot was quite impressive and will be my "defensive" load. I tried various shot sizes and shell lengths as well.

I'm sure you'll get a good deal for it...especially stainless. I love mine!

I have a Stainless Steel M6 and I've added a Red/Green Dot Sight that is really great. It's a 1X and requires a 2032 Flat button battery, but I always keep several on hand anyhow. Mine is the 22LR/410 Shotgun combination and it's really light by my standards. I've tested many different rounds in the 22LR and have found that the Hyper Velocity rounds like the Stinger, Yellow Jacket that are really light bullets, the shotgun barrel has better grouping with slugs and buckshot.
I settled down to the 40 grainers and have discovered in the Stainless Steel weapon the 40 grain is the best to stay with. With that said, I have benched this weapon at 25 yards with the Aguilla and the CCI Velocitor rounds. I was surprised with these for I was grouping about .5 to .9 of an inch. then I tried just your standard 40 grainers, CCI Green Tag, Federal Lightning, Winchester T-22, etc. and have discovered that as long as it was a 40 grain bullet speed didn't matter that much. I had 1.0 inch groups with the Standard 40 grainers and .5 to .9 with the Hyper Velocity 40 grainers.
A friend of mine, who came with me with his M6, tried the others that I didn't get a good grouping with and his performed very well. But, his is the Parkarized Model and it seemed to like all of them just as well. So, I guess the weapon and material it's made from is the deciding factor.
I hope this has been of help for I'm new to this and I'm disabled, so I don't get out to the range like I'd like to. But I enjoy the sport for I can take a brick of 22's and a target and have all kinds of fun. One item I failed to mention is that I've added a 9 round shell holder to the stock of this weapon. I pop-riveted it to the stock and this way I have an extra 9 rounds of 410 ammo on hand. Think about it, 13 rounds of 410 ammo and 15 rounds of 22's. For survival situation I think I could survive for a while. 22's don't weight that much and I've got a pack that holds five bricks, no problem.
 
I got 6 bills for mine It had several hundred rounds through it, didn't have the case, box or paper work.

Ive got a hornet and would love to get a lr. The hornets great, but more firepower than i really need :) and the guy selling it only wanted $200 so what could I do :D
