What's it worth?? Gunnut help appreciated
« on: November 10, 2014, 08:29:48 PM »
I have an old 30-06 that was my gun in high school. The stock is in bad shape so it's more of just a barreled action in 30-06. Made by Wards Western Field model EJN-757 it is a Mauser action and stamped made in Belgium.

hows the finish?  how many rounds?  bore condition?  Barreled mauser actions can be $100-$400.  Belgium made helps, but condition is everything.  I imagine it's an FN action, which without the barrel I'd probably pay $200 for a C-ring, $175 for an H-ring (where the barrel mates to the receiver) if it's in very nice condition.  If it needs to be surface ground and reblued, $125.

It is  pretty good condition. No rust and only a little wear around the crown. I’m interested in getting rid of it to help fund my new predator rifle.

Thats the plan but needed a starting point that was fair.

start at $300 and see if you get any hits.  Might try accuratereloading.com, too.  A lot of guns move trough that website
