I found someone who won a Remington 700ml, it's been stored since the day he brought it home. It's blue, never fired and has the original #11 percussion cap nipple/bolt. I have a couple of questions for those who have accumulated years of knowledge.
1. Can the older percussion cap bolt/breech plug assemblies be upgraded to the Hunter Boltnose ignition? 2. Who is selling the Hunter Boltnose upgrade kit or is selling something equal? 3. What is this ML worth? I do not want to lowball the current owner. A few dollars one way or another won't kill me but may help the current owner. It's worth it to me to offer him a fair price.
Thanks in advance.

I have bought a few blued NIB and never gave over 175.00 for one BUT that was a few years back, you can PM Hunter here and he will get back to you.

Also paid $175 for one, but that was also a few years ago. They got more expensive after that when their owners caught on that people were getting them for smokeless conversions. $200 would be more than a fair price, though. You may hear/see some want twice that, but those are "scalper" prices!
Hunter can give you the straight scoop in answering #1 question. Seems there was a kit for keeping the 700ml as BP rifle and another for the smokeless conversion. I think you also need a different breech plug, even keeping it BP.

I paid $200 for a blue NIB a couple years ago. I would considered that the top of the scale. I think Hunter has a smoker kit for subs.

Since there is no shipping etc involved I'd say $200 to $230 fair price. Hunter and Luke have bolt kits. Best to go with the SML kit as that will go smokey or SML. And we need to see pictures as proof when you are finished. JMHO, 10

Thank you for your advice. I'll see if we can make a deal that we are both happy with.
