1918 Springfield

[vmac]

Looking at a SA 1903, Serial 91X,XXX. Barrel dated SA 7-18. Flaming bomb. Bolt appears wrong. Stamped R-1 on bottom of bolt handle and the firing pin is park'd (got to be wrong) Stock stamped A.A.S. Sorry no pics yet.
Rough guess on value?

Rock Island Bolt

Stock if GG, maybe fits the date...

Pics please!

Indeed the bolt is a RIA and desirable. Rifle sounds interesting.

Back from the store. Bolt is stamped R 1 on top of the handle, not the bottom like I said previously. No grasping grooves on the stock. Pretty nice rifle overall. Will try for pics tomorrow when I go back, don't know how good they will be tho. Appreciate all the info/help, it is an interesting rifle!

The rifle you observed will typically sell for about $600 - $700.

Hope this helps.

Ok, bolt is NOT RIA. It is WWII SA replacement bolt. Stock sounds like a 03-A3 stock. I agree with John B. on price. Perhaps even $50.00 less.

Thanks for all the info. As much as I would like a 1918 Springfield I don't think this one justify's the $800 price tag! As usual you guys are great!
