The bullets can travel over a mile, leaving the muzzle at a velocity of around 2900 feet per second. Accurate aimed fire, with the graduated, adjustable sights on the weapon, is possible out to perhaps eight hundred yards. American troops qualified with the weapon at 100, 200 and 600 yards in basic training.

This question can't be answered without more information. What version 1903 is it? The 1903's, and 1903 A3's were mass produced. Are the scope mounts original or did Bubba mount it in the garage? Does the rifle have an original stock or an aftermarket stock. Is the barrel cut down? The 1903 Springfield tends to be a widely "modified" rifle where the original versions are worth much more than the "bubbaized" versions.AnswerFrom what I've seen with the more modern market, Springfield M. 1903 rifles have been selling from $600-$1000, depending on condition of course. It also depends on the make such as the M. 1903A3, used by most American snipers in World War Two as well as the late 1930's and early 1940's U.S. Marine Corps. These rifles too are roughly the same price range but of course these rifles were also made into the sniper rifle versions you're talking about. I've seen ORIGINAL sniper versions of the M. 1903A3 sell up to $2300 but the ones who were converted by civilian means to take a scope mount are worth much less. These often go for about $750-$1200. What is the serial number first? We'll go from there. It could be original.
1.5 miles plus
A normal Springfield 1903 goes for about $1200 USD right now, and i recently saw a springfield A4 go for around $1750, with light rust and a rough stock.Unless it's sporterized (like most) then it's 200-300.
your krag rifle can go for between 400-1750 dollars depending on condition and whether it is a rifle or carbine model,and its rare it is.I would have it apprasied by a pro.
In excess of 1 mile.

There are many gun websites where this is available. You can also go to gun auctions and flea markets where collectors sell guns.

This serial number is from 1929. The rifles value depends on many things..bore wear, muzzle wear, throat erosion, stock condition, does it have any special paperwork as to previous ownership, are all the numbers matching, is it a National Match rifle and the list goes on from there. Market value on a post WW1 1903 Springfield will start at about $200.00 and go up from there. Take it to a few local gun shops and ask them to give you an aproximate valve on it. But don't let someone talk you out of it until you are comfortable with the value of the rifle, some sell for as much as $3500.00 if everything is in its favor. Rifles manufactured prior to or during WW1 are of greater quality and value and should bring $400 and up depending on condition and care during the past 90+ years. If you think you have an heirloom, disassemble and examine for rust, the worst enemy off firarms.
