Springfield 1903 Rifle
Hello Fellow Gun Enthusiast,
I have a 1903 Springfield Rifle Serial Number 7281XX that was manufactured in 1917. Matching numbers and everything. Barrel is marked 11-17. Markings on the stock include AAL (initials?) and A.D.A.L. The bore is in excellent condition along with the stock and bolt. I was wondering if anyone could offer some more information on the gun and possible value? Thank you for all your help.
-Winston
P.S. I will try to include some pictures later..
By the way the gun was not sporterized or anything, and it has been professionally cleaned and checked by a licensed gunsmith

Based on the information you provided, about all I can tell you is that your rifle was manufactured in early 1918. Barrels were often produced several months prior. Your serial number puts the rifle in with those that are considered unsafe to shoot; that doesn't, however, mean that it is not collectible or without value.
We really can't tell much else without photos. If every marking cannot be easily read, then the photos won't help us.
Your gunsmith should have given you the Muzzle Wear measurement when he inspected it; if he didn't, you might want to go back & ask him to gauge the barrel.
