Anyone with a blue book that could look up a few guns for me?

.

The .30 Gov't 06 = .30-06 Springfield.

The BBGV is (1) waaay behind the curve, when it comes to current values, and (2) doesn't take into account regional price fluctuations of supply/demand.

What it IS good for is (1) determining exactly what you have (Model, year, etc), and (2) the condition (the front of the book has many excellent representational pice of various "conditions")

A large consideration in estimating a value, besides the make, etc, would be it's current condition (compared to new, not simply "good"), it's exact model, and it's features and/or disclosure of any known defects like rust, dents, scratches, cracks, & alterations.

The best way to determine your gun's true value, besides putting them into a worldwide (www) guns-only auction, would be to surf ONLY sold/closed gun auctions to find out what somebody has actually recently paid for another example in like condition.

Please remember that an "opening bid", or unsold "prices" are not a value - they are simply whatever someone decides to ask for their firearm.
