ok so here is that bad news. Sears still pays $65 a piece for the bolt itself from the 12 gauge version of that shotgun because it was recalled way back when (they offered $160 a bolt up until around 5 years ago). Only the 12's were recalled, and that was due to a weakness when used with anything other than field or light field loads. The receiver, stocks, mag tube, etc are worth (in used good condition) around $55 in parts if sent to numrich without bolt or barrel. The firing pin itself will bring around $40 if sold on gunbroker and numrich will still give you around $40 for the rest of the parts without barrel, bolt, or firing pin. And last I looked a new (used) barrel for that old shotgun from numrich would run you around $50.
Sooooo you COULD have gotten around $145 for it for the parts, or could have saved it to use with light fields loads only for around $50.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
