I am cleaning up a 1903 low S/N 81619 which places it in 1905 Mfg. barrel is marked RA 1917. The bolt is stamped "B" It appears to be in pretty good shape except I think the barrel is leaded up a bit. The stock is original except it has been sporterised, sling and band hardware removed and the holes plugged, upper hand guard removed, and the butt plate replaced with a padded one. The gun belonged to friend who passed away several years ago and left to his wife. I would like to know if it is considered safe to shoot, and what it might be worth if sold.
