Sir,
Please go back & read your post. It really doesn't give any facts to go on.
You can see the gun, we can not. Best case is if you can post quality pictures. (a 'sticky' at the top of this page tells how to post photos) Next best case is to describe the gun in detail. Refrain from using non-words such as 'good, cool, minty, neet' instead, rate the wood & metal seperately in terms of % of original finish remaining. Describe all areas of any alteration from original such as after-market sights, recoil pad, or sling swivels.
The more accurate you describe your gun, the more accurate we can evaluate it. Going on the facts so far, I would guess the value some where between "a few bucks" & "plenty, maybe more".

thanks for the tips
While i think it is 'good, cool, and neet' I'd rate the wood at 95% with no appreciable wear on the finish of the wood. There is a scuff mark on the stock 3 inches from the but plate. Scuff is 2"x2" and looks like another gun was rubbed across it.other than that there are very minor indent type marks, I wouldnt call them scratches as they dont efffect the color or finish but you can see aa few marks on the wood under close inspection. The metal finish is 98% intact with only the tip of the barrel without compete blueing. The tip looks like the finish is 30% like its ben rubbed on a carpet, but no rust at the tip. The sole rust is a teardrop size spot on the barrel 1 inch barrel side of where it connects to the action. It hs a burris scope which has some wear. The leather sling is intact supple and has the word MILSCO 1948. The magazine is missing the bluing on its shape edges.
The stock wood is a nicely grained wood with significant graining approx 1/3 inch appart. Butplate is clean and original fully blued. One screw has a spot of light rust.
ill try and get a pic. later

and a 4 diget serial number 3554 0 -
Sir,
Go to the auction side of GB & enter '134985212' in the search feature.
The referenced auction is for comparison, this auction has run repeatedly for two months with no takers.
You would possibly get a small premium for low serial # (first year gun) but that will take the right buyer on the right day.
Hope this helps, Jim0 -
Your gun sounds to be in considerably better condition than the one cussedemgun listed. Depending on your objectivity could go between $800 - $1500. Some good pictures would help in giving a more accurate value. Assuming you and I rate similarly, I would ballpark your gun in around $1100 - $1300. 0 -
thank you guys
You are gentlemen and scholars0 -
