Approx. value of a sporterized Mk.II Snider short rifle.

[The_Shmoo]

I believe it is a Mk.II**, 30.5" barrel , 1866 BSA.Co marked lockplate, stock has been cut just after the first band with a steel cap added, action and lock are solid, bayonet lug has been removed, has apparently been reblued some time in the last 150 years and the bluing has gone brown, bore seems alright but not great, some light pitting here and there.

I can post some pics once i take them and resize and upload them.

Last gun show I saw two that ae close to your description, one was $399 and the other was $175. Had I not just spent a hundred bucks on surplus 303, I probably would have taken the $175 one home.
