a friend of mine is getting out of the gun hobby and sellin some things off.  i'm selling the gun for him, it's a springfield,  the seriel # is in the 300,000 and a 1914 barrel.  it is not from the cmp.   what would be a good price?

don't turn this into a pisssing match about wheather it's safe to shot a low numbered 03 or not

I use CMP prices as a indicator and they are asking around $500 these days for the high serial numbers and $350 for the low serial numbers. Personally I would say $400.

I'm not going to turn this into a discussion on whether to shoot the thing or not, but you should advise the prospective buyer of the facts about the rifle.  For your own sake, to avoid liability, you should have the buyer sign a statement containing the text within the link, and acknowledging that he understands what is contained therein.  If you sell the rifle to some guy, and he shoots it with a problem resulting, you, as the seller, could be on the hook for big bux.

If he wants to shoot it afterwards, then it's his problem.  

We're talking strictly legalities here, not whether or not to shoot the thing.  I don't want to open that can of worms, either.

Damn nice wood on that rifle. I also just noticed that the barrel is a '07 and not a '14 like you first posted. Double my original thought to around $700.

I would not put anything but low power reloads through it.

nice rifle, I am sure there are people out there that would just buy on the collector value I would say 800 and up.

I just picked up an A3 for 500.00,  I would pay the same for a low number 1903 easily just for the have to have one factor.....
