SMLE Value

[Flavius Maximus]

I'm planning to leave the country early next year (sooner if i can) as i'm tired of living in a nanny state, & can't bring my SMLE with me.
It's a 1941 model that i'm certain has seen action against Japanese forces. The rear sight guards, or "ears", are loose, however. The front guards, barrel, action, & rear sights themselves are tight, but the front & rear "ears" have a bit of rust. Bolt is super smooth, crown is still rather prominent, & in the hands of a better marksman, it's a good shooter. I was using the sights wrong & stored it dry, but after storing it oiled & running 2 dry patches before shooting, it started clovering at 20 metres. The eyepro kept fogging up at longer ranges.
I paid $750 about 2 months ago, but i'm hoping to make a bit of a profit. I have 20 genuine unissued stripper clips & 6 boxes of PPU soft points. I also have a hoppes cleaning & oiling kit.
How much do you think all this would be worth? Would it be worth sending it to a gunsmith to tighten those back ears? Should i just cut my losses & sell it as is? Keeping it is not an option for me

Under present circumstances in NSW the ammunition and clips might realise OK money but the only way to promptly dispose of the rifle will be at a give away price to a dealer.
By the way of curiosity, which bastion of freedom are you planning to move to?
