It is a low numbered receiver. It would depend on the parts, condition, bore, etc. but assuming no major problems, $425 would be a decent price IMHO.

heres how i price low number parts guns,,, i add up the value of the parts if sold on ebay..and subtract 100.00
i dont give an inch on this formula...and have had to pass on some nicer rifles...but parts is parts.
if it aint broke...fix it till it finally is.
Stock was a sanded down scant stock guy wouldn't budge on price so I walked.
You might have come out ahead on parts, but that's about all.

Rick that's about what I figured if I could have got him down some or the stock hadn't been sanded down I would have bought it.
Randy what type of barrel was on it?
Probably a Springfield 1942 barrel - those were the most common for that year.

Thats what I'd imagine... but on the off chance its a Sedgley USMC barrel from 42, I'd be interested in picking it up...
Tasteful and tasty.....
