Hatfield Full Stock Value
Hello,
I have a Hatfield full stock in 50 calibre that I’d like to sell to a friend. What is a fair price? Photo’s are attached. The rifle was purchased in the mid 80’s and is decently well made. Thanks in advance. |

If he is a true friend...
....Don't sell it to him.
Give it to him.

Being as Hatfields are semi-custom rifles and sold for around $700 in the late 1980s, I would expect one to sell for a bit more than $350. $500-$700-ish, I would expect, but since they are so hard to find they might draw a lot more.

i had a .36 FL and it was a very good rifle,the only problem i had was that it had a very tight .36 bore,and i had to have a special mold made for it. after that it was the cats meow. i would think it would start at 400.00 and go up.eastbank.

I like em !!!
I'd be interested in buying the rifle even though we have never met. If not, is that whiskey crate for sale? Great range box for M/L's ...

Stock Repair
On close examination of the Hatfield rifle there is a repair done near the cheek piece. It appears that the repair was done by the maker during the initial construction.
How does this impact the value? Thanks and regards. |

Kinda depends on if your friend's name is McCoy?

$600 plus.
Hatfields could vary in quality with the earliest ones being better. Many were made on demand of the customer. I know because I tried buying one myself over fifteen years ago. Hatfield took my order and folded (thankfully no money sent to him). I wound up taking gun building classes on my own.

I bought a Hatfield for $600 new back in 1987. It was a nice gun with beautiful wood and fit and finish. Wish I hadn't sold it for $300 in 1999.
