Colt preban Sporter match Hbar value today

I’ve got a buddy with 2 unfired MH xxxxxx match hbars. He is in a money crunch and I offered to loan him some money with the two rifles as collateral. I am fine giving him full market value as he is a good friend whom I trust. They are as clean as the day they were purchased, but have no box. He does have the manual. If these were sold into a ban state that still allows them, what price can they bring?

Thanks in advance Guys

As an aside I sold my post-ban Sporter II HBAR last April for $1,200 local ArmsList. Was immaculate a few hundred rounds through it. No manual, no box, no mags. Not sure what the market is now for them, but unfired pre-ban I’d think significantly more.

Here in CT named prebans such as the Colt Sporter you can’t buy. Other Prebans that aren’t named are going between $1,300.00 to $1,800.00

Ran into the guy who bought mine at the feed store the other day he just loves it glad it went to a good home!

I’m in SC, anything that is a flat top carbine is rare as hell and the few SP1s i’ve seen have been $1,500 to $3,000 for HEAVILY worn ones. I’ve been trying to find a shooter condition since I was 14 with no luck.
