1917 value
I was wandering through Big Bear yesterday and I stumbled on a 1917 in the used gun section. I didn't have much time to look so I didn't write down the details and I didn't get a chance to look at the rifling, but the action was smooth.

The stock looks original with dings, scratches, etc, the rear sight on the barrel has been replaced with a peepsight on the frame and it is drilled&tapped for a scope. What is the gun worth?

Whoops I had a brain malfunction. The Strap the goes around the barrel and stock is gone. It wasn't a rear sight.

Original enfield go for about $400. Used ones that have been "butchered" go for $150

Eddystones, do...

Remington or Winchester Made ones go for a little more and are well worth the extra investment...
