    New guy, need help IDing parts

    I recently got my C&R license and have caught the C&R bug.

    I have a bolt which I believe is for a 1903 but it has a bolt handle angle that I haven't seen. I also have a trigger guard/floor plate that I'm not sure what it goes to.

    These parts were in my Dad's stuff that I found after he passed a few years ago.

    Anyone have any ideas what weapon they fit and what they may be worth?

    Bolt looks like 1903 sniper version, handle bent back to suit shooter with short arms and/or to clear scope?
    Trigger guard looks like M1917.

    ID parts

    The bolt is 1903 Springfield. It looks like it has been sporterized with the bolt handle bent, and an aftermarket low swing safety substituted. The floorplate is Pattern 14 or Model 17 Enfield.
