you been hideing under a rock for a while I'm gona guess. 1000-1200 if not more
Beater is not far off. Corwin Arms are selling used way north of this. Seen one on EE go for $1500. One at a local gun show with exception wood and in good condition for $1800 last weekend. Your talking new in wrapper. Ron
I would be extremely surprised to see a barreled action go for $1500.00, this is rather the price for a new in the wrap rifle complete with bayonet and sling.
But what do I know?
Hard to believe the Corwin Arms Enfields sold that quick for $950.00 plus tax and shipping = over $1100.00.

Personally, I think a NOS (new old stock) barrelled action in wrapper (depending on the tags that came with the wrapper) could potentially be worth more to a hard core Enfield collector than if the rifle was pieced together as a completed rifle.
$1000 is my valuation on the wrapper'd barrelled action. As a completed parts rifle? $1000

I've had this for a approx 15 yrs. A collector in northern Ontario had 2 of them which I purchased at a premium back then. One went to a friend on a No4T trade and I kept the other. These were sold out of Montreal Ordnance. The cardboard protector and the waterproof wrap is there. It is clearly labelled with the DND codes with the serial number of the rifle. Very rare! Very neat!

Beater, it's only a "barreled action with a bolt" Not a complete rifle. A complete rifle ?????????????? Depends on the economy and the market he's selling in.
During original manufacture, likely not.
But in the 1950's, LB made a bunch of stuff like this before switching over to FN production. The idea was when a rifle was no longer serviceable and sent to repairable reserve, there would be barelled actions to transplant wood, etc. onto and keep the gear going during the FN transition. They aren't common, but not particularly valuable unless made into a rifle.
Food for thought - when you had to pay to register stuff during the registry, my father and I chopped a few of these on the chop saw and stashed the barrels away to put onto target rifles once the bore started becoming less accurate. It wasn't worth the registration fee back when complete rifles were selling $100-150 and registration was $25 each.
