Eddystone M1917 Rebuild

[Kenhwind]

Joined this forum to do some research and get some input on A Model 1903A3, as I'm looking to get one. However;
A local gun shop has a Eddystone Model 1917, with a JA barrel and what must be the replacement birch stock. No rust or bits or serious issues I could detect, good clean bore. I realize that this is an arsenal rebuild, and the selling price is $599 out the door. I offered $500, and they countered with $550. I was a bit short, so I put them on hold.

I'm probably going to pass on it as I'd prefer an 03A3, but I'm curious if $550 would be a fair price for one of these.
