I have a 03-A3 serial 3609xxx barrel is dated 11-43 and is match to SC receiver. barrel is in super good shape and if correct for the serial , rifle could be unfired. rifling at muzzle still has boring marks on lands and has original parker in an in or so
is the 3609 in the 1943 year range? barrel is 4 groove

I sold my like new out of the mummy wrap looked like brand new for $1000.00 two years ago. It had been rearsenaled, but had the original 4 groove barrel like yours does. If yours looks like new, it's worth that, perhaps a bit more. Check over at the CMP forums. I posted mine for sale on a local to me forum for that price and it was sold within an hour.
