Hello Adam,

Your Model 43 rifle was manufactured in June 1949. It was sold in the Reata Pass auction in January 2016. When I viewed it, the barrel had been shortened 3-inches (21-inches versus 24-inches).

The fact that it no longer has its original barrel (somebody replaced the cut down barrel) means that it is not factory original.  Therefore, the value in the rifle is as a “shooter”.  If it shoots accurately, it should be worth at least $450.
