i am going to sell a 1900 swedish 96/38 and a no4 mk2 enfield my eyesight needs a scope anymore and I don't want to bubba these as they are in above average condition. can anyone give me a relistic selling price? thank you.
I can't help with the swede, but I have a few enfields. We bought an average condition No4 MK1 for $300 two years ago, and a very nice No4 Mk1* for $400 last year.
Check out gunbroker for current offerings.
A lot will depend on where you are. Milsurp values vary a great deal from place to place. And condition is everything. No. 4 Mk 2 Lee-Enfields, for example, were painted black with Suncorite. Then you get into the number of rifling grooves and whether or not it's an actual Mk 2 or a converted Mk I*.
A to the 96/38, how long is the barrel? It being a "long rifle"(an M96) or a short(M38) matters.
It's best to rummage around the auction sites like Gunbroker to get a ball park figure. Keeping in mind that most of the sellers on those sites are dealers thinking they're going to get rich selling milsurps.
A 96/38 is a long rifle converted to a short rifle , so it will be a short rifle . It will be worth the least of the 3 main types as it is a conversion .
