Springfield Values?

[T-Man]

Anybody know what the approximate value of this rifle might be? It is all original with matching numbers and accessories. Need a second opinion...96682

What make is the scope, unertyl, redfield,weaver etc. I would think between 1000 to 1300

would really need to see it in person, but a bunch of up close detailed pictures would help. if its truly an original correct USMC 1903 sniper rifle, you are looking at $2500+.

The first thing I notice is the stock looks like a Scant stock instead of a C-stock, so if the shadow of the pictures are not fooling me, it's not an original, as originals came with C-stocks. That makes it a built up rifle of some kind. So it's more a sum of it's parts, rather than the value of a package. To me and I'm NOT a collector, but a shooter, a 1903 is worth more than an 03 that's been modified to replicate a sniper. But you have there a 1903 Springfield in a Scant stock and a scope that looks like a Unertl.

I was curious about the scant stock on this one. This is one of five that came from my fathers estate that he left to me. The scope is a Unertl. What confuses me is that the stock is properly stamped with the metal's serial number. The other four are correct with the same style of optics and the C-stock. All but this one date to the 1943 to 1945 period and are Army 'U.S.' marked. This one dates to Korea and is marked with USMC stamping.

The other issue I have with this rifle is the fact that all the work appears to be Armory. Not done for looks, but for utility. The work is obviously aged. I wonder if this was a modification done In-Country.

[T-Man]

My point being, stocks got broken in combat. They were typically replaced with whatever was at hand.

[bob208]

the scant stock could be right. those rifles were built up for korea. they used what they had no new parts were made. if it checks out I would say some where on the up side of $4,000.

Until it can be examined by a qualified Springfield expert to prove it is all original, I would hazard a guess of $2500+.Robert
