Looking for SRS confirmation on SN# 1367132. To date, my research strongly suggests NRA Sporter; has all the required markings and details.
Once confirmed, I will be looking for advice on how best to sell.
Many thanks!

your rifle is listed on the DCM sales list as a NRA sporter.
Any idea how much you are going to be looking for???Quote:

Sir, right now, I don't have an answer to your question. I continue to research this rifle and it's value. I have determined rather conclusively that it is a true 'unaltered' NRA Sporter. I confess that I am a rookie when it comes to grading of relics such as this; and, it appears that there are not many NRA Sporters north of our border. If there's a easy guideline to help me assess grading, I would be most appreciative. I do have values from the 29th Edition of Blue Book (kindly supplied by a senior forum member) that show values of $3500 for 95% condition and $4500 for 98%.
Please do not hesitate to PM with any questions or assistance.

55308,
I notice that you live in Canada. If so, you might want to keep in mind there are a LOT of hoops to jump through before selling a rifle to someone in the States, if it can be done at all. You might want to investigate before you get too far. I remember selling an 1884 Trapdoor Springfield, a couple of years ago to a Canadian, and it wasn't easy. Do your homework first.

Just razzing you Rick! You're correct as usual.

Lol!! :D
A word of caution here, do not use an importer to bring in a firearm from Canada, they have to, by law, stamp their name in the metal. Anyone with a FFL can bring in an occasional firearm and the process is not very complicated. I believe that all it takes is a ATF form 6.

Thanks, Gents, for your comments and advice. I may just take it to Bud Haynes Auctions (Auction House for Antiques, Collectables and Guns - Bud Haynes Auction Company) in Red Deer, AB or consign it thru Milarm (MilArm Co. Ltd :: Edmonton, Alberta) in Edmonton, AB.
In the mean time, are there any on-line guidelines for grading of firearms such as the one I have?
Back on 1 september I put up a post about an NRA Sporter at Griffin and Howe's Bernardsville, NJ location. I guess it sold as i didn't see it on their website the other day.
If I recall they had about $4600. on it and it was in (IMO) excellent condition,
The s/n was in the 1,3nn,nnn range but I didn't record the whole thing.
Regards,
Jim
