[QUOTE="uncle money bags, post: 2368680, member: 8377"] My son has hit me up about a Rock Island 1903 he has come across. really he just wants to know what its worth, or what he could sell it for. Of course I told him, "whatever you can get some one to pay for it", but he wasnt impressed by my answer. Since I know next to nothing about milsurp rifles of this nature Im bringing it to you. The serial number on the receiver puts it as manufactured in 1905, It was re-barreled in August of 1944. barrel at muzzle end is marked RA with armory proof (lit cannon ball) below that and 8 44 below that. from what he describes the bore is clean and bright. the rest of the gun looks fair to me. Of course, some body drilled an taped the receiver for a scope as well. Obviously the stock is not original and the barrel has been cut. He measured it at about 22 inches. We are aware that sporterized rifles of this vintage are not nearly as collectible, we are just looking for some ball park info.
