 Great reference book even though I'm not gun smart January 8, 2009
I purchased this book to get a value on hunting guns that I need to sell. It was very helpful in giving me a price range for each gun.
Ok for more modern guns. December 28, 2008
I purchased this for figuring insurance amounts. While it is full of modern firearms, it is lacking in military surplus firearms. Good for half of my collection anyways.
 29th Edition Blue Book of Gun Values by S.P.Fjestad December 23, 2008
Excellent source of gun values. All inclusive and very easy to use. Would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to know a gun value or additional information regarding a firearm.
Definitely for the Professionals December 14, 2008

I bought this book so that we could estimate the value of our collection for insurance purposes.
I was really surprised at how poorly it was laid out. Simple things, like alphabetization, are not what I would expect in a standard reference book. For example, did you know that 'CZ' comes before 'CA'? Neither did I. In this book, names with abbreviations go first even when they spell out to a different order or if they don't stand for anything at all.
Also, and the main reason for the 3 star rating, is that we had a lot of trouble determing the value of some of our older, military guns. For example, a 1943 Czech Mauser imported through International Arms. There is no listing for International Arms as the importer and, while there is a whole section on Mausers, that we used for other Mausers, Czech ones are listed under the CZ section. I think we finally found the right entry, but I'm not positive about it.
Overall, we probably found the entry we were looking for quickly and easily in about 75% of the cases. The other 25% were a challenge and we're not entirely sure we found the right value.
Ultimately, this is what the professionals use. If you want or need the same reference that they are using, this is the book to get. Just be warned that it isn't the most straightforward of reference books. If you are just a curious, casual user they may be better choices out there.
THE SOURCE for Firearms Pricing December 13, 2008

The BLUE BOOK OF GUN VALUES is THE SOURCE for pricing on firearms. The info included is a must for buyers, sellers, and collectors of firearms. Prices are included for individual firearms and their percentage of original, new condition, i.e 100% through 60%. The only improvement I can suggest is adding photos of the firearms in the listings for quick identification of the firearm being researched. Overall this is an invaluable book for the firearm enthusiast to own! I always reference it now before buying, selling, or trading any firearms.
