Probably you don't want to shoot it anymore. Postwar Bolo with matching stock in NRA excellent condition could sell $4k to $6k. If you break a single numbered part,,,,, the value drops dramatically. On 1987 (or 1984, I cannot remember) gun value catalog, the editor recorded one event: a guy bought ten minty Bolos at $750 each as "investment" (total $7500). Those days are gone. Nowadays, even junk C96 cost that much, numerically.

C&R guns with over $2k value should not go to range. Different people have different lines, but most guns in current production, e.g. various kinds of AR15s, seldom go above $2k (except early variations). Those are for sports shooting.... so I guess $2k could be a line. Just an opinion. I found C&R guns between $1-$2k are easy to sell, probably because they are collectibles, also shootable.
