Value of sporterized Model of 1917 Enfield?

[MD]

What's a plain Jane sporterized 30-06 M17 Enfield that shoots well realistically worth?

$240.

Okay, here's more details, sporterizing done by BSA, cut down original walnut stock, ears ground off and receiver drilled and tapped for scope mounts. It has Weaver bases and a working old bushnell scope on it. I had it recrowned by a gunsmith.

Bsa p-17 .30-06

I sold this BSA sporter P-17 .30-06 at a recent gunshow for $250 [bases only no scope or rings]:

It was a great shooter with a nice bore & fairly smooth action but it was a heavy rifle!

NAA.

That's nicer wood than mine.

Average price of a cut down military stock M1917 is in the $175-$220 range. P14's go for slightly less.

I'd pay about $250 to $300 for an excellent example of a sporter M17 or P14.

The second gun I sold on the EE here a few months ago was one mint with a 4x32 bushnell scope fitted.
I got $250.00 plus shipping. Could not sqeek 275 out of it and tried.

Run of the mill P14/M17 sporters will go $50-250. Some of the stuff done by guys like Burgess and/or Echols will go in the thousands. But the level of workmanship is astronomically better. And yes, these are heavy, it's a big rifle. They make a good base for large magnums though. The downside is cost, it's all custom work, and if you can't do it yourself, it gets very expensive, very fast. FWIW - dan

Nice lines, but it hurts me to see a M-17 without a "belly."

You likely have the plain jane version of the BSA line, which used the issue stock. They're better done than many of the sporters around - I'd say 125-200$, depending upon condition. Bear in mind that these were working guns, and have typically seen some hard use over the last 60 years.

If you get $200, thats a good offer.

"...realistically worth?..." You buying or selling? Either way the condition matters.
"...this BSA sporter..." The quality of the stock wood used on sportered milsurps, in the 'olden days', never ceases to amaze me. Had a Bishop walnut stock on a No. 1 Mk III, long ago, that wasn't as nice as that stock. Friggin' rifle had bad headspace too. No bolt heads around then, either.
