Rick,
In spite of the unknowns, I am certainly happy to have gotten so many inputs from you and the other contributors. I have certainly learned a lot more about my rifle.
First, to Rick: There is no rifle serial number on the stock but there is a drawing number, D1836, on the stock (near the rear) and another drawing number, D28179, on the handguard.
Second, to...
First of all, thanks to Rick for posting the pictures. Rick also noted (correctly) that the slide on the rear sight (on the barrel) is missing. I had assumed that since the person was using the...
EMRI,

Cosine26, Thank you for your inputs on this matter. I am very pleased that you read my question and took the time to respond. I cannot remember which reference indicated that the hole pattern for...
Rick, Your comment about the receiver sights being 'add-ons' brings up many concerns about articles in books such as Brophy's book on Springfield Rifles and in many magazines. All of these picture...
I read that the hole pattern for the Redfield is slightly different than for the Lyman. If that is the case, one could not simply replace a Lyman with a Redfield. The hole pattern on my 1903 has...
I recently purchased a 1903 Springfield rifle with a Star Gauged barrel; full "C" stock; NS marked bolt; parts numbers on the stock and handguard. The serial number is 1471591. The one issue is that...
