Here's what I have so far. Planning on restoring it to original (But Highly unlikely), but, I'll probably end up just getting it back to a regular rearsenal state. The receiver has a Silky smooth finish with what I beleive is Rust Blueing.

All original components with the exception of the hand guard and bolt. These two items will be replaced with the correct types.

Springfield action, Remington stock, heavily boned, mix of pre and post WW1 parts. This one has been hanging over my desk for the last 15 years. My favorite rifle and wall decoration in the whole house!!
WWIfan, if you were every in a mind to sell the stock, you could make out like a bandit!! Probably could trade it for a really nice grasping groove stock from Springfield and make a fair amount besides!!
Rick,
Thanks for the comments......not that I'm looking to sell right now, but what would you guess the stock and handguard might be worth?
I have seen really nice RLB GG stocks go for as much as $600 and Remington handguards as much as $100. I admit that was before the economy we have now. You just don't see Remington M1903 GG stocks come up very often.
What a great bunch of rifles and pictures! I have been away from here much too long. As to WWI fan's RLB stock, I would thing $600 might be low, Rick.....it looks stone mint! DuPage is selling the handguards for 100 plus shipping. I know I would give 600 for it in a heartbeat! I'll drag out my SC and post some pics of it. Regards, Rick.
I purchased this rifle years ago from a retired gentleman who worked at the Rariton Depot in New Jersey. He picked this rifle out and had the original DD and DA forms for purchase and transfer......just look what he paid for it. It went through Rock Island at one time and I had to replace the bolt body and butt plate to make it all SC. Regards, Rick.
