They did make them during 1919, but yours doesn't sound like it was one. No 1919 NM RIAs had Lyman sights.

Yep, those Rock Island Arsenal 1919 National Match rifles are Far rarer than Colt Walkers, Colt Pattersons, 1903 Mark I Petersen Devices, Rod Bayonet 1903's, or Honest Politicians.

I'd love to have one. I've always liked the "C" type stocks.

1919 Rock Island NMs (and 1919 Springfield NMs, for that matter) did NOT have Type C stocks. They had grasping groove stocks. The Type Cs were a few years down the pike.
