One of my favorite 1903 rifles

What would a very nice SA 05 barrel be worth?

[Rick the Librarian]

JUST the barrel? Maybe $200-300?

Ray, My SA s/n 4918 had a SA 05 A barrel on it when received from the CMP. The bore was gone, could not salvage it and replaced it with a SA 1918 barrel. If I find another SA 05
barrel I will install it on 4918. I also used the POD rebuild stock that came from Rick the Librarian.
Do you have a photo of your 4664 ? Robert

Here's the photos as requested Robert. Early parts including the split leg rear sight base and cut back 30-03 barrel, Ray

Ray, Thanks for posting the photos, that is a nice rifle. The no-bolt stock and very early barrel are rare. Interesting that a few of us, have found four digit Rock island and
Springfield rifles or receivers, but where are the three digits ? Robert

Good question Robert, a 3, 2, and single digit one. I believe there was a #1 serial numbered Springfield on the forum at one time, Ray
