    Possible 1931 Springfield 1903 NRA Sporter

    Can anyone verify if this is the NRA Sporter? #1389737

    If it is, I am also interested in finding documentation. I tried the SRS website, but it has been hacked. Does anyone know if there is another way to obtain the documents?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Unfortunately, no SRS match.

    Probably too late to be a NRA Sporter. Does it have any National Match characteristics such as Star Gauge barrel, polished rails, or serialized NS bolt?

    I've seen a few listed in the low 1,400,000 range.

    NRA Sporter #1407218 is in my collection. I have the SRS letter documenting that is was sold as an NRA Sporter.

    Herschel & Rick,
    You are both correct. I didn't look far enough down the list. There are plenty of them in the 1.4 million range.
