I recently picked up a U.S. Rock Island Arsenal Model 1903 Bolt Action Military rifle. The front barrel stamp is R.A.12/43.Along with U.S. and the Ordinance stamp. The stock has markings of K-109. With the exception of a few very light rust marks, it is in great condition. It has two switches on the bolt/receiver 1-ready/safe, the other says on/off. It also seems shorter that a Springfield 03/A3. Im not too familiar with this rifle so I thought I would ask for help from those of you who are more knowledgeable. Any help would be appreciated 0 -
care to provide a more detailed description of the firearm? 0 -
Davenport Firearms Company was originally in Providence R.I. from 1880 - 1882. Later in Norwich, Conn. from sometime around 1890 until 1909-1910 when they were taken over by Hopkins & Allen. The shotguns they had were very well made indeed. If you had 3rd model, I would be all over you like a duck on a June bug trying to get you to sell it to me.Their falling block, single shot rifles were made in .22, .25, and 32 rimfire. They weremade between 1891 and 1910. First of all I have never seen one. They are somewhat rare. I know you are looking at a fair chunk of change. However, I think you need a profession appraisal. I would contact antiqueDr at www.ApaxEnterprises.com, and let him advise you what to do from there. Alternately, contact CaptKirk, the moderator of this forum at his e-mail address and let him advise you. 0 -
Collector interest in single-shot shotguns (other than trap models and those made by major manufacturers, like Winchester and Parker) is minimal, at best. Most older single-shot shotguns sell for between $20 and $100, depending on condition (the gun would have to be safe to shoot with light loads and the top price would apply to one in LIKE-NEW condition), with an average specimen going for $25 to $40.
