Sporterized military guns are not as valuable as a full matching numbers rifle, specially of that year. As soon as you butcher it with a stock and aftermarket parts it loses all historical values.
It would probably be worth about 250-350$ would be my guess. You can get them appraised at your local gun shop.
Your rifle was built in 1917. http://www. vishooter. net/SA. txt Your serial # puts it into the “unsafe to shoot” range, (M1903 Springfield Armory serial #’s below 800,000) due to improper heat treating of the receiver. The actual likelihood of a failure is very low, but just so you are aware. (Official records indicate about 4 in 100,000 Springfield Armory built rifles in this serial # range experienced a failure. )
Sporterizing one of these rifles greatly lowers the value. If the rifle is in good condition, I’d also “estimate” the value to be around $300.
MJ has it down pat. Good answer.
I’d like to add though, that my 1903A1 (Springfield Armory) was made in 1912. . . it too falls within the “low number” range, and has been said to be unsafe to shoot.
Not a problem whatsoever. Don’t try running super-duper-awesome-hot handloads through it, and you’ll never have a problem. Otherwise, I would say a fair $500 is acceptable for a good condition, low number 1903.
BUT. It’s been sporterized. Now it’s only worth $300 max.
Pickles, It was originally made somewhere between 1903 & 1917. Unfortunately, sporterizing old, American made military rifles severely decreases their value! Your spoterized version MAY be worth somewhere AROUND 12-$1,500. 00. That’s a wild guess. Value depends upon a lot of things. Good luck. If you want a better idea, take it to a gun shop that deals in collectible guns or military guns. They would have a good idea.
