1903 Springfield value

Featured Replies

I saw a nice Springfield Armory 03 the other day that appears to have been set up for Hi Power matches back in the day. Maybe Camp Perry? Checked out fine on the Go, No go. I did not have my MW gauge with me.

Lyman peep, Lyman front globe. GI "C" stock. Butt plate is steel, but no hinged openings. Overall condition is very good. Stock appears to be glass bedded.

Ballpark value?

When were these used in Hi Power matches? 60's, 70's? It has one of the smoothest actions I ever felt. Serial number was in the 884 thousand range.

Thanks.

Definitely not an A3 03. Spingfield marked receiver. I think they starting the double heat treating at 800,000?

if it is drilled for a receiver sight and it isn't star gauged (meaning it was a nm rifle, and had a receiver sight originally) it really lower the value.

is that the rifle that Walt at Hackettstown was selling?

Not from Hacketstown. Did not have a receiver site originally. How can I tell if it was a NM rifle besides parts being stamped as such?

It has a Lyman rear peep sight, front globe, and is glass bedded. Will try and get some pics up.

Check barrel crown. 6'00 point for star. If not, Lowers value. If starred I would be interested! Dave

I agree Nick. Serial number range is too early. SN 8843xx. Somebody really did a nice job with this  one though. Right down to a NM buttplate, and serrated trigger.  Lyman sights Nick. Will post pics this weekend.

I bought it Nick, just deciding on if I really need it LOL. May decide to trade it or put up for sale.

Pics sent to your phone Nick. Will check MW readings tonight after work.
