Selling “custom” barreled action

I know this is an off-beat question but the gunsmithing forum seems like my most likely source for meaningful advice.

Back in the mid-80’s I had a well-known gunsmith rework and rebarrel an Enfield action. Really beautiful metal work. I was in my 20’s then and kids came along shortly after the work was done; money became tight and it went in to the back of my gun cabinet .... and it’s still there 35 years later. Now the kids are raised, money’s not the problem it once was but I just don’t need another rifle.

I assume there’s a relatively limited market for a custom barreled action - where/what is the best place to sell something like this?

It all depends on how "well known" the gunsmith was.
Your project is worth from $100 top $10000; maybe more, maybe less.

What caliber, and what has been done to it? 3 position safety, or original? Deep box, or straightened triggerguard?

If it's big bore rifle in dangerous game configuration, classifieds here would be a good fit.

There’s a wide market for any custom Enfield here.

Caliber? Photos? Cock on closing? Triggerguard straightened? Pond filled?

Need some more info.
