I shortened the barrel to 21.5 inches.

The barrel needs to be re-crowned and a foresight fitting. Stock is in good nick other than a repair to the toe. Action seems fine and the bore has slight pitting but not deep. Ramrod is missing.

Anyone care to offer a valuation. If it's not too much trouble give me an "as is" figure, plus a second if I got the barrel and foresight done.

Cannot make out what mark it is.....is it mk 1. 2 or 3
Cannot see any ordnance marks on lock plate either so looks like a commercial version etc
No purist will want it and it could be a tad lively to shoot too lol
Any Nepalese script on it ?
Value I would say no more than £250 in its present state maybe £300 if recrowned etc
Edit.....since you restocked it without major refitting etc I presume it must be English rather than Nepalese version as they not interchangeable in the stock dept etc.
I have 3 sniders all mk 3
