    There is always a market. SAMCO global arms was selling some not too long ago. Should give you an idea what shooting 303 surplus is going for.

    However, if you give us the head stamp info, we can judge if you have any sort of special 303 that might be worth more.

    If you shoot .303 British, keep it. Otherwise sell it.
