The papers are worth more than that rifle, so long as the rifle is included. I just got off the phone with a springfield collector in KC. about $3,000 as is, about $5,000 when I get the parts to correct the few alterations that were made along the way... restored? oh, no, I didn't think so. "Corrected" is a more appropriate term. For these rifles were modified all their lives by competitive shooters looking for that edge. Getting those parts back on that they took off or modified is realitively easy. And now I've slipped back into that grey area of what is "restored" vs "correct"... This rifle has had 3 owners since 1930... two of them competitive shooters modifying this rifle for that "edge" and me with my hands in my pockets... so what is truly original? vs. correct, vs restored?
