I was toying with $1,000.00..

The bore on this one is in fine shape. It does not appear to have been issued, or if it has, not used very much. I wonder what the value is... although I know that value is extremely difficult to set. I do know it is probably worth more than I paid for it 2 years ago.

Value? Nobody can provide you with a value here because of Insufficent info provided on your part.. How about posting 12 - 15 excellant pictures of the rifle including pics of the sights, barrel date, receiver, bolt and bolt marks along with striker and bolt shroud, bands & buttplate, stamps fore and aft of the trigger guard, guaged muzzle wear and throat erosion, left & right sides of the stock ect ..ect..

Provide the above and you'll get some educated opinions..HTH..

"nor do I have any info that indicates that any other Commonwealth Countrys use the "Red Band"."

Canada used the red band. Lots of M1917's came back from Canada with red bands.

I appreciate that input. The use of the "Red Band" logically was used to denote a different cartridge than the 303 Brit. Makes sense!. Did Canada use the "Broad Arrow" stamping on the buttstock??..

I have three red star rifles. Two I bought directly from Red Star. The third one I got from a pawn shop. Don't know how many hands it passed through before I got it, but at some point the red band was removed but still has traces in the wood grain. I also have Rem. 3005511 With RLB GG stock and N/\Z on the right side. Rifle is pristine.

The New Zealand M1903 rifles were all early WW2 Remington production and were imported for RNZAF use (guarding airfields, etc) and later for Home Guard use. A complete range of spare parts was supplied as well, many of which still turn up here from an old sports shop which bought the spares at the end of the war (also M17 parts in the same deal). Apart from a few that 'fell off the back of trucks', all of the M1903's and the 66 Air Force/Home Guard M1917A1 Brownings were returned to the US after the war. I have seen quite a few over the years and they have mostly been marked N^Z. I have only seen one marked NZ^D. None of them had red bands on the stock. Most of the examples in NZ have poor barrels because of hard use and corrosive ammo.

Out of curiosity what kind of slings did the NZ rifles come with?

M1923 Web??? That is an excellent question.

Did rifles come from Remington with a sling, or was that issued at a depot or unit level?
