1903a3 with sales papers from 1957? Value?
Just had someone drop off a gun for me to sell for her. It is her deceased husband's gun that he got from Red River Arsenal in Texarkana TX. What would this be worth? Gun is in excellent condition, with the stamps on the stock very evident.
Bore appears to be in excellent condition, 12-43 dated, with RA over the flaming bomb. Cannot even tell if there is any wear at all in the throat or muzzle. The gun is a Remington, and i'll get a bullet to check the muzzle wear prior to posting pics.

Depends on the condition. Some sold by the government were new, unissued; others were rebuilt, & condition varied.
We need to see photos, including the "stamps" on the stock. Plus, we need to know the muzzle wear measurement & condition of the bore. And, the markings on all metal parts. It would also help to know the manufacturer & serial number.

EDIT: RA over flaming bomb on the barrel indicates that the barrel was made by Remington; the manufacturer of the rifle will be stamped on the receiver. Muzzle wear must be measured with a muzzle wear gauge, or a "poor man's" muzzle wear gauge (a single round of USGI M2 ball inserted point first in the muzzle) You really want to post photos.0
