Every bit is a bit more than we had.
The barrel dates are most important, even if it is a replacement.

1938's can't be worth much, I see a complete full wood at Rock Island with a few other rifles.

In OZ you would need to mortgage the wife.....I must live in the wrong place. Incidently, the S/N prefix is B not R.
