C No7's

[Polar_Hunter]

I noticed at recent gunshows here in southern Ontario that CNo7's with transit chest and cleaning rod going for $1800. This was a very good clean example on a 1946 receiver. Thought the price was high however when I went back an hour later it was "SOLD" at the asking price. Saw a second one the following week and it was not as nice however went for same money. Looks like prices are escalating like NoT's did awhile back.

What are other folks seeing in their areas?

Parts are also going the same way......haven't seen a barrel since I sold my last one a couple years ago. Sights...same thing. See Marstar sold out of the harder to get parts.

Getting back to the original question, in my area there doesn't seem to be any interest in CNo7's at all. The gun that I put for sale is now back in my locker. It went to a gun show and was taken on consignment for a time at a local gun shop. I feel that part of the problem with selling a gun like this one is that most fellows in the market are looking for a "perfect original in every way". (mine has a mismatched bolt but looks original in every other way)





I will probably post it on the EE at some point in the future but I won't sell it long distance. Shipping it out to be examined and then having it sent back is a total waste of time and money.
