I purchased this barreled action for the beautifully engraved lever floor plate and double triggers for a friend. I bought it at a very reasonable price which I felt the 100% engraved lower was with worth. ( SN did not match ). I am trying to determine what value the action might be worth, as well as the APEX 35 Whalen imp. Match barrel. Any help is appreciated

That is nice work on the bottom. I see barreled actions listed on GB usually in the $200-300 range. You'll probably want to pull the sear (not sure of correct name?) off the action to keep with the triggers.

Unless the barrel is in very fine condition and unless you can find a buyer who wants an unusual caliber, I'd say the barrel's value is negliable. The action, however, should bring $400-$500 since it's a commercial Oberndorf, definitely not a run-of-the-mill military surplus.

rocky mtn bill,
I believe the action is a "sporterized" military one that has commercial proof marks, after the conversion. I believe this, because of the date on the receiver ring. At least the "kick off" must be kept with the DST in the bottom metal, but it would be better to swap out the entire sear unit, because the coil spring in the unit has already been adjusted to work with the DST.

Der Ami, You could be right. It would be easier to tell for sure if we could see the bolt knob shape. Even as a military Oberndorf the action will command a good price. If I didn't already have more of them than I'm likely to use, I'd be glad to own it. PS: Several military models seem to have utilized commercial actions with standard proofmarks.

Thank you gentleman for the information provided so far. I have attached a few pictures of the knob. The barrel is an APEX that I understand was made by Dave May who had a shop here in Flagstaff AZ.

I will pull the complete sear unit to send to my friend who is building a custom rifle.

This looks like a commercial bolt handle to me. It could have been altered of course.
