About $700 for one in really nice shape. looking at Gunbroker the ones starting at $900 or above don’t seem to get any bids.
Take a HARD look at the bore, and check to see if it's loaded before doing anything else.
IF the bore is without pitting, then it may be worth as much as $600-$700 as some have already written. IF the bore is pitted and rough which sometimes is merely having been left alone for a long time, then offer no more than $400, and then send the barrel off to Bob Hoyt, for a reaming and possible re-rifling.

The JBMR is a great gun with classic hawken lines, and i love the single set trigger but the main spring on the locks is a weak point. These springs are very thick and under alot of tension when cocked. If you buy the gun, do not dry fire it as you will likely break the main spring and finding a replacement spring is in the realm of unobtainium. You would have to get a spring made.
