What's the current ballpark for a No5?

[j-man]

Did some searching of the EE and here and couldn't find a good answer (most, if not all, the prices in the EE are deleted when the rifle is sold). I'm trying to determine what 'market value' is these days for a No5MkI before I list it. Mine is a 46, matching and in pretty decent shape. A couple of armourer repairs to the stock but not a lot of dings in the wood. Strong rifling and no parts swapped or repaired; just BLO to keep the wood lubed. Kind of your average Jungle Carbine.

Can anyone suggest a fair price range so I can list this thing and actually have it sell without a run of BTTs? Thanks.

$250 to $400 . Depends on how fast you want to sell it

Typically they're running for a few weeks at $350 to $450 depending on condition , and date (wartime sell better than post war). $250 to $300 would likely get you a fast sale, but is less than market value.

In BC sh*tty ones are $250 - $350 and sweet ones are $350+

$300+ depending on condition of course. At $250 it will sell quickly.

Roger doger guys. Thanks for the input. Time to wipe it down and find a camera.

1946, matching and in pretty decent shape. A couple of armourer repairs to the stock but not a lot of dings in the wood. Strong rifling and no parts swapped or repaired; just BLO to keep the wood lubed. Kind of your average Jungle Carbine.

All matching bolt, action, magazine, etc. It has a dark bore with strong rifling, repairs to the stock, usual dings from use and is refinished?

$250 - $300, perhaps $325 if it looks good and no ishy screw.
