What is a nicely blued 303 Martini action worth?
No Stock bolt.
Real or fake?

The US has been flooded with potentially dangerous Khyber Pass knockoffs.

Real I reckon, I have had it for 15-20 years.
Last time I put it together I put one of the last parts in wrong.
Even forget now what part!

if it is all 'real' and original, then collectors have run those prices up pretty well. Last one I sold [good unmolested condition and original normally-worn finish] went for 500.00, 4-5 years ago; military - not commercial. BTW, when you touch off some milspec rounds in one, I start thinking 'slip on' recoil pad. Fun guns, and along with Pukka Sahib Sporter Enfields, one of my fave bang-sticks.
Let us know how it all works out.
SWAG is on the table

Thanks JM for the estimate.
Only marking I can remember is 303 on one side. I guess I will have to dig around in the safe, find it and see what it really looks like.
That money will help me fund a barrel for a smokeless Rem RB action I have had for a while also.
Want a unique round barrel "Hunter" model, some may laugh at my planned design, but then it is for me and I want it.

Was rooting around in the safe today and decided to look up the Martini Action.
Well I'll be, the stock bolt is there.
On the left side is:
A Crown
V. R
ENFIELD
1901
ME 303
A.C. II.
Screw heads are not in the Very Good condition like the rest of the action
