I have two Remington 1903's, I'm thinking about selling one of them
I bought it as a stripped barreled receiver and built it out using all NOS or used Remington parts The barrel was a sewer pipe and I found a NOS barrel, in original wrap and had it installed (by a professional) What might this be worth in todays market? Gunbroker and other sites aren't much help, they only list one of kind, rare rifles. Yeah right Any opinions? THIS IS NOT A FOR SALE POST, JUST ASKING FOR OPINIONS if i SELL IT, IT WILL BE ON A LOCAL SITE ONLY  Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Prices have shot up significantly on 1903s. Maybe due to the 100th anniversary of WWI. I've been looking for one, and I've lost quite a few auctions for one. It's hard to give an exact number, as the prices have varied so much depending on condition. If I were selling one like that I wouldn't feel bad asking for $1,000.

$1k +/- $200
As always, it all depends on a bunch of factors. What I would do: Set the price at what you would be happy letting it go for and see if you get a bite. Also lots of close up detailed pictures showing everything on all sides of the rifle and the action out of the stock would help. Was it a demilled receiver? Have you shot it? What ammo and how did it typically group? Got the target, show it. Was it refinished or not? Anyone buying it is probably buying it as a shooter to pour some ammo through - it is a put together = basically no collector value. |

I was thinking 1K on the high side with a minimum of $800 Demilled receiver, absolutely not Yes I shot it, with Greek HXP. The sights on the 1903 are too much of a challenge for me. It was just fun to shoot There is zero collector value to it, so I'm hoping to find someone who wants a pretty rifle just to shoot Thanks for the response |

There is still some “collector” value to it as it is not a D&T receiver or a former drill rifle. True that it is more of a shooter grade rifle.
When it comes to shooter grade rifles, barrel condition is everything. With a NOS barrel, $1000 is not out of the question. The only real drawback that I can see from the picture is that is has a 03A3 pinned stock. That is not a deal breaker by any means. |

That rear peep on the 03A3 works pretty good for me and I got the old, bad eyes with glasses thing going on. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: yup, the rear sight on the 1903 is the same reason I never bought one but picked up 03A3's instead.
