The markings on 1903 Springfield barrels usually are found with year of manufacture in addition to the markings you state. I have only one reference book, accepted by many as the most comprehensive on Springfield 1903 rifles. The "Springfield 1903 Rifles" by Lt. Col. William S. Brophy, USAR, Ret. has pictures (pp 42) of the difference between barrel markings on a Springfield barrel and one made by Rock Island Armory. Your example is missing the year. After 1905 even Springfield Armory barrels should have month and year stamped near the front sight. I have a WWII model with 10 42 stamped on top with the P for "proof" mark on the bottom of the barrel also near the front sight. On page 537 of the above referenced book U.S. Army Ordinance Department Specifications dated 1916 (extracts) state "On the top of the barrel in rear of the fixed stud is stamped the Ordnance escutcheon, the initials of the place of manufacture, and of the inspector, as well as the month and year." My rifle does not have the inspectors initials but those instructions may have been altered during the heavy production in the war years. Further and more lengthy research may turn up other differences.

+P ammo is rated for the .45 Springfield XD, although I am seeing that it may not cycle correctly. May want to check with Springfield.

$500 to $1000

should be 300-400 depends on year made and overall shape

Well it really depends on what you want the k98k goes from $250.00 to $1000.00 for a all matching bnz marked rifle. Personally for $100.00 you can't go wrong with a mosin nagant. Stay away from the 42-44 marked rifles as the milling can be very bad. My rule of thumb is that pre and post war mosin nagants are the best. The mosin nagant is not perfect however, the safety sucks, it's so bad I don't even use it. The k98 or the Gew98 is a very nice rifle and for a average price for $399.00 from Micthells Mausers it is a great rifle. I don't know much about the M1903 but I would assume it's a good rifle since it's a mauser copy. They are expensive anywhere form $750.00-$1200, but in the long run it would be cheaper to shoot because the 30-06 is everywhere in sporting goods stores since it is such a popular game round.

numrich gun parts it will cost $1.50 for a pdf copy sent to your email.

No, and there likely was never a nickel plated one, either.

depending on condition, anywhere from $250-$900.

It is legal in most BLM and National Forest lands with certain restrictions.

I have this gun. It is a model 86C. I am wanting information about this gun. I can't locate any. if you are aware of any info about this gun please contact me.

9mm Luger 115 grain ball for target shooting. JHP (jacketed hollow point) for self/home defence. If you can find itthe XTP bullet performs well in testing. Fiocchi 115 grain XTPHP is good if you can find it.

The prices will vary depending on the shape of the gun. It is possible to get around $950 for one.

what will the gun coast today.

It will hurt the muzzle velocity by at least 200 feet per second (FPS). The original front sight will also have to be remounted and the value of the rifle, which isn't a great deal, will be diminished.

To find a working bolt for a Springfield model 83 rifle, you can check with local gunsmiths or firearms shops that specialize in vintage or used parts. Online marketplaces like GunBroker, eBay, or specialized forums for firearm collectors may also have listings. Additionally, reaching out to manufacturers or parts suppliers that focus on older models may yield some options. Finally, consider joining online communities or social media groups dedicated to firearms enthusiasts, where members might have leads or spare parts available.

google it.

My brother just purchased one brand new. He paid $460 for it I believe. He was lucky to find one new beings they are discontinued in the model 700 BDL.

My Gun Trader's Guide doesn't list an "M" version and doesn't picture the model 87, but if you go to the library and locate this book on the shelf, I'll bet you can find a picture in one of the nearby volumes. If you can't find it under Springfield, look for Stevens and Savage. Stevens division of Savage Arms made it. If there's an 87M with any of their names, it will be the same gun.
