I don't know what it is. The prices for a standard shooter are just fine. But it's the collector market that tanked. But it's not just M1903, it's sort of across the board.
I remember when the bottom fell out on Krags and trapdoors. I think it's just because the collector's died off mostly. I'm not sure it won't happen a lot on the M1903 as well.
I know when I look around the collector military gunshows like OGCA, I'm 39 and the youngest guy there.![]()
