The original Military Rifle had a full wood stock, cleaning rod, and barrel bands!
People bought these surplus rifles years ago for less than 20 bucks, and a lot of them were Sporterized (Stocks replaced or cut down) into cheap Deer hunting rifles...That is what you have. Collectors want Original Military rifles, hence the lower Market Value !
