Springfield Model 1903- I Need One!!!

[roughpasture243]

I have been wanting to get as close to 'as issued' Springfield Model 1903 for the longest time. I really want War time (1917-18) production. There are a ton of mismatched guns out there that are in really rough shape. I saw this near mint version on YouTube and now I am all fired up! How much would something like the gun in the video cost? What should I offer someone for a gun like this?

If it's an original on good condition with the desirable serial #'s you'd be doing good at a couple grand from what I've seen.

Thanks, that is what I was thinking. In the video it looks like he has an original 16 inch Bayonette which would likely take it to mid 2000s I guess. The scabbard in the video is not original I know because they had cloth/leather

Gunbroker is a good place to look.

Thanks, it does seem like the prices are all over the place. I have used Gunbroker before and it is nice.
