"C" stock value, and something extra....

[rynegold]

The reason that stock sold for so much is because its a 1903a4 stock. The seller doesn't look like he knew that, but apparently a couple bidders did.

A pre-war C stock like yours could still be worth a few hundred dollars.

What makes it an A4 stock? How do you tell?

The cutout for the bolt handle. Of course any bubba could make a cutout for a replica 1903a4, but original a4 stocks have a very unique and specific cutout. Here's a picture of an original. Note the round cut and the top corner square cuts. The same cut is on the gunbroker stock you linked.
