    $675-$850 depending on how correct it is.

    While it's hard to tell from the pics exactly how "mint and correct" it actually is. IF it can accurately be described as both of those terms, it may be word double that estimate!
    From what I remember about the 03's, the Smiths are the most desirable maker ( if it still sports the original barrel) of all the 03's as they had 4 rifling grooves in the bore instead of just 2 grooves like the others.
    Also, while it looks like your bolt has the correct green-blue coating, there are also many other individual parts on the action, sights, mag floor plate, etc... which will have varying colors of protective coating on them, to make the rifle "correct".

    I have a good friend who has one of the most "mint and correct" Smith 03's that you'll ever see and it's amazing how colorful/collage-like the "bluing" is on that rifle... He bought it from that author, Scott Duff who writes all those collectors books about 03's, Garrands, Carbines, etc...
    If you'd like to find out how correct yours may be, I'd suggest getting Duff's (or others) book and see what you have...

    prices on all those old martial rifles have gone through the roof in recent years...
    A couple years ago, I traded a fairly non-correct, but decent shape Remington 03-A3 for a brand new Keltec KSG, when those were tough to find (at the time they cost $900+ when you could find them).

    That old thing!?

    I'll do you a favor and give you $300 for it.



    Nice rifle. Without a closer look, I'd say $600-$1300. 50% of the value is in the last 5% of the condition.
