Hello,

Just picked up a Stevens model 9478 20 gauge single shot. Has never been shot. It is still in the box. I don't think it has ever been put together. I got it for only $85.00. Not sure If I want to shoot it or just keep it in the box.

Shoot it its not a collectors item

Well, unless the OP decides he just wants to 'collect' it - then, at least for him, it becomes a collectors item. I agree with you, though - I'd probably shoot it.

That does sound like a pretty good deal. For some, strange reason most people I've seen selling single-shot shotguns seem to think that their used, non-collectible singles should (for some indeterminate reason) bring as much as a brand new single shot or even some pump guns.

FWIW, there is a 20GA listed at the following link priced at $229 plus $35 shipping. Description says it is in 'very good' condition. Of course, just because they are listing it at that price doesn't mean they will get it.

Looking at those pics, I'm pretty sure this is the same 'model' as the .410 that was my first firearm, a Christmas present from my parents in my early teens. I still have it but would have to check the model number to be sure. It is a great little single shot. I really haven't shot mine much but it was a companion on many of my woods walks back in my teens.
