[QUOTE="org57, post: 1655744, member: 65851"] You are also correct, when I took the rifle to James River Armory, he told me the rifle with the serial number on it which was a low number was from the Korea conflict era. He advised that the stock had been changed due to it being mahogoney not birch. He also advised that even thought the barrel serial number (5-44) meant it could have been used near the end of WWII but could not be certified and that it was most likely used in Korea. I advised him to check it out and advise. He told me that the rifle was worth about $1100 in current condition and if refurbished to original condition with a Criterion barrel that it would be worth $1500 with all parts parkerized and in new condition. Please excuse my spelling. [/QUOTE]
