That sure seems like a great rifle for a collector / investor who doesn’t plan on shooting it. I cant weigh in on if 3900 is reasonable or not. But for what it is worth I recently paid 1/2 that for a 99% condition (in terms of wear) all original Smith-Corona -A3 to add to my small WW2 USGI collection. This seems in the ball park with Fleurons-de=lys’ post. And I don't feel guilty shooting it occasionally.

If interested PM me and I’ll send you the contact info for the gentleman who’s searched and found for me several USGI small arms in great condition.
