Surplus Arms Price Check

[Adam Helmer]

Joe,

Surplus Arms prices are all over the chart. I agree, that P-17 is over priced.

In the April 2012 edition of "Guns" Magazine, on page 32, Holt Bodinson reviews the M-58 Madsen bolt action .30-06 rifle. His specimen appears to be Very Good to Excellent. He places a value of $400 on the rifle. In a recent article he reviewed a 6.5MM Jap rifle without an upper handguard and with a rough bore, which rifle he did not fire, and valued it at $500, as I recall.

I would say that Danish Madsen should be in the $500-$650 range, according to the local used gun racks.
