Best condition of any rifle from 1936 that I have googled so far.
The short barrel is supposed to add 150% to the value, according to Blue Book.
So, a Standard Rifle worth $2250 loses 4" of barrel and becomes a $5625 Short Rifle,
unless Bubba is the guy who chopped the barrel.
Provenance by Bubba.
Reminds me of the microcephalic Kodiak boar about to partake of surf & turf,
carved on the buttstock of a 1940 Standard Rifle.

And coming up, I found the greatest "Special Rifle" aka Deluxe Rifle for the money on the internet,
only $4995, a long-tang made in 1936 also,
like the Short Rifle above, that someone might have paid more for.
This M71 SPECIAL RIFLE is claimed to be in 95% condition, and includes the fold-down sight in the barrel dovetail, bolt peep,
front sight hood, and supposedly original sling and swivels.
