Neighbor has a L46 Hornet now a K-Hornet as a collector I know the value is shot . What is a FAIR price to offer I really want to be fair with him

Thanx

It's impossible to appraise the rifle sight unseen with one sentence saying it was K'd. What is FAIR is subjective & based on a host of factors. Any value affixed by others would be pure guesswork. It's like asking," What's my car worth? I put a different engine in it." Without any other info.

The rifle is a HONEST 95% a little bit of figure in butt stock both sides Rear sight is missing

Now you have given us two sentences to base the appraisal on. A rifle with missing parts can't be rated @ 95%, IMHO, but others may feel much differently about that. Once again, what the rifle is worth is hard to determine because there are no comparables to use as a reference. How many L46 Hornets have you seen that have the rear sight missing & the chamber K'd? It's value is what a willing buyer & a willing seller agree to. Obviously it's not worth what an original, intact L46 Hornet is worth, but one would think it is worth more than a common L46 in 222 Rem in similar condition is worth. No one can give you the "magic" answer you ask for. Do some research on prices for L46 Hornets & other L46's, with your friend involved, & come to terms. If you are "friends" that shouldn't be all that difficult &, IMHO, much better than taking some value given to you from someone you don't know over the internet. Whatever you settle on is not going to make a difference in your or his retirement. So, why all the concern? Or, just ask him what he wants & pay him. Just my two cents.

Hi Jim
Please understand that we just don't provide values on rifles especially when they have been altered and sight unseen. By that I mean that the rifle would have to be in hand before any of us would hazard a guess as to what it might be worth. A lot of things factor into valuation so our best advice is that if you like it and the asking price seems reasonable to you given condition and other factors then our recommendation is that you should buy it. Understand that all of this is on your nickel. So let the buyer beware.

My father taught me the best piece of advice when I want to make more money than I spent on an item originally. Buy real estate.

Walnut or birch? Carbine or rifle or Mannlicher? Long or short magazine? By "rear sight missing" do you mean that it originally had a sweated-on open sight on the barrel which has been removed, or it never had a rear sight (like many Sakos made for the U.S. market)? Which version of the K-Hornet, and do dies and brass come with it? A few pictures would make a huge difference in at least providing you with a ballpark figure.

Sako L46's in .22 Hornet are fairly scarce and in high demand, so having been rechambered to the K-version changes the market for it, but certainly doesn't eliminate demand. Personally, I would have some interest in it, while other Sako enthusiasts might not. No one can pin down an exact figure for such a rifle, but with more comprehensive information you could get a better idea what a fair range of prices might be.
