Picked up a small sales list not long ago from '48. Heres what they had available:
M1903 - Unserviceable - $15
M1903 - Serviceable - $30
Both high numbered receivers, some may have type C or Scant stock
M1903A1 - Not Available
M1903A3 - Used - $50
M1917 - Unserviceable - $5
M1917 - Serviceable - Not Available
Shipping for the M1917 or M1903A3 - $1.85
Shipping for the '03 was $2.85, $1.00 more than usual for determining condition.
M1917's considered unserviceable mainly due to excessive headspace.
If you wanted to add a barrel to your M1917 purchase - add $1.97 - no extra shipping.
I found it interesting the A3 cost nearly twice as much as the '03. I guess the A3's were in much better condition.
Not really surprised at the M1917 being a third the price of a comparable '03, considering the whole popularity thing.Information
