You'll need to post more info. The serial number indicates that it is a single heat- treated receiver or "low-number" receiver (RIAs below # 285507, SAs below #800000). These are not recomended to be shot because of the possibility of the receiver shattering. Your receiver was manufactured around 1909. What is your barrel date? Low numberered 03s are usually only in the $200 to $400 range UNLESS it is all original and in excellent condition.
