The pic is not that great, but the stocks look fine to me. --- GWB

I'll agree. The pics are not the best for a detailed analysis
but "from a distance" they look good.
I honestly would not dare say if the price of $1500 each is good or bad. There is alot that goes into determining the value of a firearm and you really have given very little info to make a sound judgement.
While you have seen them in hand and know the condition,the pics do not tell us much,for instance:

Is the wood solid and free of repairs?

Has the wood been sanded and are there overhang issues anywhere?

Are ALL parts correct,down to and including screws and pins?

Are there any rebuild marks on the receiver legs?

Are the receiver stampings all clear or washed out from an arsenal sandblast/refinish?

Are the barrel stampings crisp or washed out from blasting/refinish?

Chamber's in the white?

Gas pads chromed?

Bore condition,end readings?

If your not the CMP or one of the few highly regarded dealers/authors then what you need are high quality,close up and in focus pictures of every part and marking. Quality pics,and lots of them,are what sells a good rifle,and what one needs to determine if the rifle is worth the asking price. IMHO,1500 is not unrealistic for a very good quality WW2 rifle,even a restoration,but it is the upper limit so it should'nt have any issues at all.
