Well since I saw a couple of Featherweights for sale today, I decided to look at this thread. The gun is at least $950 plus shipping around here. It has the proper sights, the metal is not bad, the stock, although unaltered, has definitely seen better days. Low comb stocks are not that bad for scope mounting, they are not the best for sure, but definitely useable. They didn't switch to flippy (Lyman 16a or B) across the board until a little later. Without grabbing my Rifleman's Rifle I will say this is a 1956 gun. I know 1957's start somewhere over 400000. Most Featherweights were used and show it. I saw a very clean 1957 Featherweight in 243 today for $1,400.00.
