hello all, new member here. I posted this over at the appraise or fake forum but decided it might be just as good to pose the question here as well. I'm fairly new to the milsurp crowd and have only just recently started doing my homework on 1903s(bought my fist in april).

I have spent much of my summer restoring a Remington 1903A4 I found in a friends basement. it is mostly done but is has a straight stock without grasping grooves so I'm waiting on a C stock to replace it with before I start posting pics. I had originally planned on putting irons on it and just using it as my plinker since I have a pre-800xxx springfield that I don't want to abuse too badly but when I put it on paper and had 3 holes touching typed groups I decided to go as close to military as possible without resorting to the horrible repro scopes.
the serial dates to march of 44 and the bolt is all remington and appears to be correct as well. the bayonet lug and the sling swivels are from numrich and the redfield mount, rings and scope are all current production. the barrel is stamped "RA" with the ordnance dept flaming bomb and is dated 8-44 but was apparently from an A3 because there is an unparkerized patch near the muzzle.



having dumped way more into this rifle than I was originally planning I have decided it might be best to just sell it as soon as it's finished. going off pictures of the stock and known condition of the rest I would put it around service grade.
how much do you guys think I could get out of it?
