Before we can answer your question,we would need to know what type of rifle your are talking about? Is it a M-1 garand, a 1903 springfield, or a 1903-A3 rifle?
Check out a copy of Flayderman's Guide to Antique American Firearms from the local library to determine exactly which US Springfield rifle you have. Value will depend on the graded condition, completeness, and originality of the gun. If it is a Model 1868, one about 10 years old gives a value of $250 in poor condition and $800 in excellent. The Springfield Model 1864 is a.k.a. the Model 1863 type II. Value is subjective, however the excellent Italian Pedersoli replicas are $800 plus.
often it was the 1903 springfield rifle
No such animal. The Springfield 1863 & 1863 Type-II (AKA 1864) were both 58 cal muzzle loaders. This is most likely a post war conversion.
the Springfield rifles fired round bullets or bucks.
that would be a percussion black powder rifle from the civil war. value would depend on overall condition
.30-40 Krag
There were versions of the .58 caliber U.S. Military 1863 Rifle Musket manufactured by the Springfield Armory. The Type I bears a lock date of 1863, while the Type II has a lock date of 1864 or 1865. I assume you have a Type I. Antique muzzleloaders from the Civil War are generally graded from "poor" through "mint," the later meaning factory-new. A Civil War arm of "mint" designation would be exceedingly rare and of inestimable value. A "good" Type I is worth around $1,000, while a "fine" specimen could bring close to $4,000. Please remember that collector condition refers to original condition. Rebluing or other refinishing detracts substantially from the value.
In order to answer your question I would need to know what type of springfield rifle you are asking about.
The Springfield Trapdoor series of rifles vary in value based on condition and type. Condition includes the state of the wood, bore, metal, action and level of originality. An 1899 Springfield Trapdoor in excellent to museum grade condition can fetch thousands of dollars. Fair condition rifles can be worth around 700$ or more as of July 2014.
Without describing the rifle in question with more detail(Caliber,finish,and type of model 70 rifle) and amount of original finish remaining,I can only give a general value of your rifle.This will be between 375-550 dollars.
