Going price on M1917?

[P51MUSTANG]

What is the current going price on an import M1917 with mixed parts? Just looking to know how much a decent shooter would be. TIA...

Sold six last year. One with shot out bore brought $350. Rest went from$500 to $700.0. Nice Winnie brought the most.

Bore condition is more important unless the import marks are unsightly. Prices can be strange on Gunbroker.

When I sell a 1903 or a 1917, I have the gauge to tell what the ME and TE are.

Too many were fired with blanks and ate out the throat.

Look good, Muzzle looks good, throat eroded beyond Mombassa.

I've been seeing asking prices at gun shows for M1917s in the $600 to $900 range around here. You can improve your odds of buying a good shooter by testing headspace, ME, TE and checking bore condition but you usually have to buy the rifle before you can shoot it.

While I am only casually shopping mine, they all shoot decent, have good TE and MW and are in overall good condition.

Some cleaner than others, stocks vary as well.

All are parts mixed.

Eddystone is up for $900. I may not get it but its solid and a very clean good bore.

Others in the $1499 range with clean receiver and barrel, good bores and non issued stocks.

You can get a bargain once in a while, but for the most part the low cost good conditions ones are gone.

I'd probably ask similar money for my low serial numbered excellent shooting W if I ever lost my mind and decided to sell it. Lots of reasonably priced NOS parts are available on the Internet if a buyer decides to replace the worn or poor fitting mixmaster parts.

HI. I'm Starting to organize the sale of my 50 year '03 collection, selling off the ancillary pieces first. I have a near mint (I don't use the term lightly) 1917 Remington, bore perfect, muzzle of one (don't have a gauge to measure throat), wood near perfect except for a professionally carved "troop C" just forward of heel, all matching and all inspection marks pristine; about 95% or better bright blue remains. Nicest one I've ever seen absent the carving. Value? Thanks Dokcop

The most expensive minty parts-correct M1917 I’ve seen was at the Ohio Civil War Show in Mansfield, OH and had an asking price of $1575. It’s possible to turn a negative into a positive if you could research and identify the origin of Troop C. There are ways to measure throat erosion without a TE gauge and No-Go and Field headspace gauges are inexpensive. Knowing the amount of wear could enable you to ask more $.

I kept my Eddystone that shoots lights out. One of the kids will get it when I take a dirt nap. Same with the Eddystone P14.
