The NM collector market has really taken a hit I think. I used to see a nice NM and it would sell for $3500 to $4500 or sometimes more.

But I've seen recently some in the $2500 range without a buyer, and they were really nice rifles.

But it seems to be across the board on M1903's as I remember when I sold a mint NRA marked sales rifle and got 5k for it. Today I would be surprised if I got 2k for the same rifle. The M1903 collector market has really seemed to go down.
