I have an Auto 5 barrel that looks new. Rich blueing, vent rib, bead front sight, threaded for choke tubes, and made in Japan. It's got a 3 inch chamber, and is 30 inches long. The bore is flawless. What would be a fair asking price for this? I'm not much into shotguns. Thank you for any help! Here is the only significant marks that I could find.

A quick look at gunbroker indicates from $150 to $350 but a 30” barrel will not be a quick seller.

Some mornings, it just does not feel worth it to chew through the straps!~

I would not be so quick to sell that cheap. It’s a Japanese made magnum barrel with choke tubes so it’s steel shot capable. That barrel is highly desirable because it can bring new life to Belgium made magnums that can’t be used for steel shot. I’d be surprised if it doesn’t bring $500. Needs to be in an auction.

Thank you for the insight! I'm heading out of town tomorrow, and will probably be listing this next week.
