I love the gun. I truley do. I've owned three or four 03s. Is there a name on it ie; rock island? Also look to see if its an "a" rifle. Some of the earlier ones had faulty heat treating in the actions. There i..s a serial number cutoff..easy to look up. But unless it's an Alvin Linden or Pachmeyer or Abercrombie and Fitch our Decker custom gun, it's most likley not worth more than three, Tthree an aquarter. Love it though, an old school action and an old school hot rod caliber.
