I figure $250 in parts. for a $200 rifle, if that.
I don't know if this is a 325,A, B or C

Does the rear sight have a screw to retain it or just the dovetail?

The 325 and 325A had a screw retaining the rear sight. Also, A,B,C models should have the letter following the model number. I believe mine is a 325-C and is marked as such. the 325's were made from 1947 to 1949 when they were replaced by the model 340.

I have one of these with the optional Peep Sight, fun rifle. Also have a 322 in 22 hornet with the factory peep.

What is missing that costs so much? The only thing I see is that the bottom metal ot surround the mag well, stock and the clip. This shouldn't cost anywhere near 200.00, a hundred bucks tops.

I didn't shop the part, just checked gunparts.

front sight - $13
rear sight - $23
magazine - $37
stock - $100
triggerguard- $$27
ejector is a bit bent - $13
scope side mount (optional) - $24
- $237

Did this have a barrel band?

This is going to be a Bluing experiment

Yes, it has a barrel band which is used I suppose as the front actin screw since the action only has one screw.

Only the 325 has the long bar type ejector with the front magazine guide.

The 325A was the change to the smaller pivoted pinned ejector.

FYI, Wisner's 325/340 magazines are made on the factory tooling in the USA.

Nurmich has their 325/340 magazines made overseas.

Would it really be worth 200 dollars? These must be more valuable than I thought. I would kick three or four of these aside to get to a beat up Mosin Nagant. Regards, Bill.
