Stopped by the local shop today for some reason and they had a 1million s/n 1903MKI rifle for sale. Wasn't really looking to buy anything, but this thing just called to me.
Last o3 I saw was over in Ft. Collins @$450 and didn't have time to wait for the background check, so passed it by. Had a bunch of stickers on it from competiton. Figured someone passed away and it went on the consignment shelf. Kicked myself for many a time on that one.
This one is in immaculate shape. Park is excellent, few nicks and gouges on stock, it has a SA10-44 bbl on it (4groove, perfect shape), so kind of guess it might have been rebuilt. See few o3's around here, and this one is in good shape.
Plan on boolits in it. What has worked for you?. I have 5744, 4759, 2400 & 4227 along with surplus 4895 too.
Think I might have paid too much, but gotta ask the experts, what are these things worth? If I had to grade it, discounting a possible rebuild, it would be around 85-90%. Thanks
Sorry, no Pedersen device with it. If it did, I know I would have a good buy!!:)
Pics later, on bench cleaning bore for copper first, now
