Hi jfkid.

The rifle looks to be in very good and original condition. From what I can see in the photos, everything looks correct. The bolt and safety are both Type-II, which is correct for the serial number of the rifle. Nice find.

If everything is in order and original, I would concur with BSA's estimate of $2,000 as a good collector auction value. A private sale or a pawnshop purchase might go for a bit less. If they are asking $1,800 for it, I would consider it a fair price for this rifle.

One thing I could not see in the photos, but you may be able to confirm is whether or not the receiver has a stripper clip slot on the rear bridge. This feature was dropped from the standard receiver at serial number 60,500, but was retained on the target and NM rifles. If the receiver is original to this target configuration, then it should have the stripper clip slots.

Good luck with it and let us know if you pick it up!
