EDDYSTONE 1917

[MountieFan16]

I recently picked up an Eddystone 1917 production date, 2/18.

All numbers match. Wood is in very good condition and bluing is around 85%. The barrel is original.

It was reconditioned at the Agusta Armory, and it's really 8n excellent shape.

I paid $650.00 for it. Is this a good price?

Without seeing pics, I'd say you paid about half of it's actual value. Now...let's have a look?

Thanks Jim! I feel better now after paying as much as I did for my Eddystone.

Evidently you got Hell of a deal. When I bought my Rifle, True Value showed under guns sold, with beaters in the $400 range with the high over $1000. Gun Broker showed a low of $800 and a high over $2000.

The way I look at it, you opinion is like bellybutton, everyone has one.

I've read this thread about five times and don't get your point. You unhappy or what?

Not at all. When I posted that I paid $650 for my 1917 Eddystone a member said I paid Way too much. So, I posted what guns for sale were going for. I

I said you paid about half what it should have sold for...meaning you got a great deal.

Absolutely not. My rifle is in great shape and the $650.00 I paid for it was a decent price.

Thank you.

I paid $300 for a sport job with untouched metal. The only reason I got it is I scored on some furniture and metal bits at an estate sale years earlier and had been on the lookout for just that sort of rifle for some time. I ran across these guns and parts acquired years ago at an estate sale for 4 hunnerd bucks or so. The bits and pieces will return the Eddystone back as well as an Enfield sport job with only the stock cut. Both rifles were bought for dirt.

This is what I had,



This what I finally found. PAX
