Good for your son to shoot I would say.

I would say shoot it and enjoy the memories. I can not see the future, but it is unlikely that it will bring a significant return even if it is in perfect condition for at least 100 years.

Nah.

ALL guns are shooters.
You can't take it with you.
It's JUST a gun.
Use it and enjoy it - that's where the real value is.

Shoot!

It's already somewhat of a collectible. You won't hurt it any by shooting it.

There is one on the shelf of my local gun. It actually has a cheap scope with the see-thru mounts on it. Apparently someone thought it would make a great deer rifle (slug gun ?), then traded it in when they changed the law in Indiana to allow pistol caliber rifles for deer. They want over $600 for this rig so I quess they think it is collectible.

Definitely don't see many 9410's coming up on the used racks at my local gun shops. I'd still say shoot it.

This is a great little "fun" gun. I got one on impluse when they first came out. Both my grandsons enjoyed shooting it when they were little as the isn't much recoil. I'm not much of a shot gunner myself, but I needed an excuse to shoot it, so I started loading it with round balls to shoot at my steel plates. Lots of fun! I use a 410 dia ball without the plastic wad or a 375 ball ( or 2) with the plastic shot cup. Can anyone tell me why no one is willing to make a mould to cast slugs for the 410. Lyman used to make them but stopped. You see them occasionally for sale on Ebay and they go for close to $200, so there must be a need. I suspect that someone blew up a fine old double gun and the lawyers got involved, and that was that.

I bought one about a year ago. I'm gonna shoot the snot out of it and let someone else worry about what it's worth.

Say wbwizzard what kinder grouping do you get with that .410 ball and does it go in the case ok or bulge it?

Nath, Never did put it on the bench to measure the group.figured it wouldn't be too impressive; but it does shoot better than I expected. At thirty yards, I can hit a 8'' steel plate with every shot, off hand.
It took me quite a bit of time to get everything just right with the wads. For the .375 ball I put some 38 caliber wads in the bottom of the shot cup. For the .410 ball, I cut the pedels off the shot cup and put some 410 felt wads over the shot cup and under the ball. Both got over shot cards and a roll crimp. there was a litle buldge with the 410, but it chambered OK. I was not worried about the bulge because the ball would roll down the barrel with no pressure applied. This is for my win 9410; I woulldn't try it in an older gun, especially with a tight choke.

They are selling $800.00 to $1000.00 now. Depending on fixed or screw in chokes and variation.

Winchester makes some 2&1/2 inch 1/5 oz slugs(1830 FPS)five to a box.

I use them in my Marlin lever Mod 410,I'm saving it for my grandson.

No doubt they were priced too high off the get-go,and everybody really expected a 3 inch shell.

So yes they will just go up in price and get harder to find.

I'd like one myself.
