Need help with value of 1917 Artillery

nice looking reblue and repro accessories

if it has an excellent shiny bore - and the fine tune sights front and rear work - and shoots ok
those are big factors for someone looking for a keeper shooter artillery

you can make a 0 cost fine tune tool from a standard paperclip - make ends into a two prong fork - if fine tune screw turns with some resistence that is just right - if wont turn try some fine oil and gentle extra effort

if reblued with the fine tune screws not disassembled may be a problem to use them due to reblue corrison

good luck with the sale
