Quote:Quote:Quote: Exactly! I hesitate to offer advice on pricing an heirloom such as this for precisely the reasons stated above. For insurance purposes, just peruse the market and price it according to what you see offered that is similar. Then maybe add 25%. Bear in mind that if it were to be lost or stolen, NO money or rifle will ever truly replace it. Its value to you will never be equaled. Now, back to the rifle. You have already tapped into the best resource on the web and you being in NZ will surely get the help needed from members here to get the Lancaster shooting again. Hopefully shipping from Oz to NZ isn't too difficult as I would expect there to be a few shooting the No.2 there. The 450 No.2 is a big case and a bit of an odd man out in the 450 group but what class! Even loaded down, just dropping those huge cartridges into the chambers and leveling the sights on target is an event! One option is to find 475 No.2 brass and start with that. Probably not any less expensive, but I'd wager that Kynoch did produce a lot more of it than the 450 so maybe easier to find. The case specs are a little different but I do believe I have heard of it being used. |
