    Remington 1903A4

    hello all,
    I have spent much of my summer restoring a Remington 1903A4 I found in a friends basement. it is mostly done but is has a straight stock without grasping grooves so I'm waiting on a C stock to replace it with before I start posting pics. I had originally planned on putting irons on it and just using it as my plinker since I have a pre-800xxx springfield that I don't want to abuse too badly but when I put it on paper and had 3 holes touching typed groups I decided to go as close to military as possible without resorting to the horrible repro scopes.
    the serial dates to march of 44 and the bolt is all remington and appears to be correct as well. the bayonet lug and the sling swivels are from numrich as is the redfield mount, rings and scope. the barrel is stamped "RA" with the ordnance dept flaming bomb and is dated 8-44 but was apparently from an A3 because there is an unparkerized patch near the muzzle.

    having dumped way more into this rifle than I was originally planning I have decided it might be best to just sell it as soon as it's finished. going off pictures of the stock and known condition of the rest I would put it around service grade.
    how much do you guys think I could get out of it?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Over on the CMPicon site they have recently auctioned several stripped receivers. The average knockdown price has been about $1700. Add to that the bolt. A good, complete A4 Bolt is worth $450 to $500. Then you have a bunch of miscellaneous parts Say $200 or $300.

    All told maybe $2500. to $2700. US

    Regards,

    Jim
