Depends on condition. Also when you can find them. IMO, $275.00 and up.

Based on a previous thread, I'd say the are commanding sh*t loads of money. But in all seriousness, if you come on one for 275.00 you should jump all over it. I've seen people selling hacked together 54s for more money than that. By hacked together I mean a 54 base mated to a 40 elevation staff. Not a good combo!

Thanks, I have one on a bolt I am thinking of selling on ebay and trying to get a good price from it. Hate to sell it but need the funds. Thanks everyone!

Well ebay should bring you a princely sum. Best of luck!

I paid $600 for one, but there was a rifle attached to it...

The biggest mistake folks make with their auctions is starting with an opening bid that is too high. Start the auction low and start generating bids almost immediately. 9 times out of 10 there'll be a feeding frenzy. Especially with an item there is demand for. Good luck if you decide to go the auction route.

I paid $600 for one, but there was a rifle attached to it... Yip, I got the same deal, but mine was a little less, because it included a broken stock. Mine came with an extra-large octagon barrel attached, with the stock whittled to fit. Chambered in .300 Savage. I bought it from a young man in the service, who was happy to have the money. Strange deal... My 1920 came D&T for a sidemount, and a bent bolt to clear a scope. The newer bolt with the Lyman 54 checked within .002" for headspace, and is not bent. So theoretically I have a 1920 that can take either the original style bolt with a 54, or a bent bolt to work with a scope. Strange deal, but it shoots well and I have parts left over

Thanks for the pictures. I checked my stash but no 54s . That bolt is a very fine looking rig.

Lyman also experimented with adapting the #54 to other rifles too, notably the Krag. I had the base for one of those thinking I could adapt it to a M1920 Savage, but no soap. In a weak moment I put it on eBay and recouped enough to buy a bunch of loading supplies.

Nah. This was a few years ago and I erased the pics from photobucket right afterward. Essentially it was a #54 base with a much narrower mortise and different radius to fit a Krag bolt sleeve. It was missing the slide too. In the meantime I had snagged a #54 base from Maddog and I figured it would save me a lot of aggro over milling out the Krag base, and since I would have to make a slide anyway I went the path of least resistance. That way I didn't mess up a rare experimental sight part too. I would have hung onto it, but money was tight then...
