Back in the 1960s I bought an '03 Springfield (CMP?). Through the NRA & CMP I replaced the low serial numbered receiver with a higher numbered one. I also replaced the barrel with an original-in-bag dated "42" from CMP. With its hot linseed oil and spooned refinished stock, it looks great. However by what I replaced, was its value increased or decreased?

  As a "shooter", the value has increased.
  
  As a "collector", the value has decreased.

  Do you have the original parts, if so and your looking to sell I would include all original parts.

  In order to get the new receiver from CMP, you first had to send them the low numbered one.
