There is a 220A for sale on GB. Starting bid is $575, what would you consider fair market value? I know, at times some will pay far over the far market value. We have all done it and I would like to check myself before this happens, with your help.

812773987 GB number. I looked at this gun and it is a nice one, but does show some wear. I only have one 28 gauge in my collection and have only seen one other for sale. Before bidding, I would ask the owner to verify the assembly numbers to be sure it was an all matching gun, though most likely it is. As to the price, if I did not have one, I would bid on this one. Good luck to you. Let us know if you get it.

Thanks for the advice. Your opinion is appreciated as it has the weight of experience.

Great news! I have been watching the auction until this morning. Did anyone else bid? I look forward to the pictures!

Congratulations,
I have two, a Utica and a 220a. In my opinion they balance better than any of the other gauges. You will like it. IF you get really brave you might want to sculpt the trigger a bit as the 220a's tend to be a bit square and fat.

The triggers starting with the 220A's are too fat! In my opinion, they really spoil the looks of the guns. Once you see a slim trigger on a Utica gun, you may not ever be satisfied with the fat one on later models. I have had my gunsmith/machinist reshape 4 or 5 of mine.

I did these., One on the right is untouched the two on the left are modified. The single picture is one i got a little carried away on.

Yes, a much clearer look. Think I will give it a try on the receiver I am currently working on.
