New to me 03.

[Plain Old Dave]

Posted on other forums, but figured I would check in here.

SN 1407xxx, Springfield.

4/36 star gaged barrel.

Lyman 48 rear sight, graduated to 125

King Reflector front sight

1919-20 bolt, not EPed

Cutoff polished on ON side, like krags were.

Bolt raceways may be polished, not sure.

Serrated trigger.

No seifs on cutoff, safety markings.

No Hatcher Hole on right.

Currently in 1922M2 stock, and has been for a while.

My 2 theories:

1.Sporting rifle built out of the DCM catalog; the reciever is a hit to replace a LN.

2. NM "team gun" built by a 1930s riflesmith and later sporterized. Only thing there is the King Reflector sights had fallen out of favor by the time a 1903 match rifle was obsolete.

Floor is open.

I think pictures might get the ball rolling!

[Plain Old Dave]

Tonight.

If you can post the entire serial number, someone can look it up on SRS for you.

[Plain Old Dave]

Already done. Was a hit, replaced an LN reciever.

[Plain Old Dave]

Correction: No hole on the left.

[Rick the Librarian]

It is a little difficult to check when we don't know the whole serial number, but it sounds like you checked with someone off-forum?

[Fred G.]

How about a picture of the entire rifle?

[Plain Old Dave]

Already did that, Rick. More pictures Tonight.

Been busy lately, but will post more pictures Tonight. The rifle definitely has NM features besides the star gaged barrel.
