Go for it! I have a 385 (20ga) Great shooter and usually go
for about $100-$125 if very clean. Pics look good. Just put a new
buttpad on it- the old one is probably like a rock. Havlin sales for an
extra magazine and have fun.

Sorry for resurrecting a really old thread but there doesn't seem to be much information on the 395T Bolt Action shotgun I've been considering... I think the guy's asking too much money but it looks like it's in good shape. The barrel is 28" Full choke, chambered for 2 3/4" and 3" shells. He's asking $175 cdn (around $140 US). Looks like someone parkerized it. What do you guys think?
I think if I had the cash in hand I'd do it for that price. Depending on the situation I might put something a little lower on the table and see what they would take. No harm in asking, they can only say no. As long as you don't offer so low you offend them.
I agree the price doesn't seem too far off, especially considering the condition.
Like @Rossignol said, put an offer on the table and see if the seller will meet your price. If not, if it were me I'd pay $140 US for it...

Havlin sales maybe?

They have chokes, stocks and magazines for the 395 under the bolt action shotgun tab. I tried to link it directly but it comes up with the same addy as the home page. They're very helpful folks and may be able to point you in a direction if there's anything else you're looking for beyond what they have available. That and eBay can be a wonderful place.

What always kills me is that firearm parts are hard to find in Canada, then the ITAR regulations cause most companies not to ship here. Numrich does, but they have some juicy fees involved.

Hi All:
I am continually picking these up, refinishing them and them selling them again. I have a 395K beauty that I'm presently in the process of rejuvenating - I'll post some pictures when the project is complete. Usually these gems have been sitting in 'Uncle Mikes' closet for decades...unused and unloved. The old stocks are beautiful and the graining is spectacular when allowed to show through. Tru Oil is amazing stuff. Also, I'm a bit of a historical firearms buff and I like the idea of getting these old shotguns back into the woods. They're ugly as hell, which results in them being overlooked when people start looking for an affordable, multi-shot shotgun. I see them come up every so often and I almost always jump at them. I have never paid more than $150 for one. Strip the old varnish off with a good furniture stripper, refinish it with Tru Oil, reblue it and presto...you'll have a marvelously versatile shotgun good for deer, geese, rabbits and upland birds. They get a bad rap because there were so many made and they were considered a 'working man's firearm'. If you pick one up and take it birding, I guarantee that you'll become one of 'us'...an old 'Mossy' lover! Also, some don't like the fact that it's a bolt-action which, I'll admit, is a bit of an anomaly for shotguns. I really don't see the second shot lay-up advantage from a pump or semi as a real issue when you consider that, aside from waterfowl, you are generally going to only get one targeted shot off anyway. Regardless, follow up shots are made relatively easy due to this Mossy's removeable box magazine. I know a few turkey hunters that swear by these things!
The ONLY drawback that I've ever seen, is that when you need parts, you're out of luck if you're in Canada. Havlin in the States carries everything you need, but due to legislative restrictions, they cannot ship to Canada. Not really a big issue, unless you break a bolt or firing mechanism. If that happens, sell it for parts and move on. (There are many people out there who will purchase one to cannibalize). DON'T LOSE THE MAG, they're like gold. (Unfortunately, that bit of advice is from direct experience)!! I recently sold two 395's and personally still have two of these (both a 20 and 12 gauge), and a spare one for parts. They're not modern, they're not cool and they're not sexy. What they are, is rugged and dependable. I'll take that anyday.
By the way, if you have one in .410 or 16-gauge, I'm interested, lol.
Cheers,
Shawn
