Springfield action cover?

[rldarmstr]

I recently acquired an action cover made of ruberized or backed, OD canvas. It has 3 snaps and a thong at the end. Inside it is stamped "S-1942".

I had originally thought, when I purchased this item, that it was the WWI vintage cover that fit both 1917 Enfield and 1903 Springfield, but that cover has 4 snaps and of course wouldn't be stamped 1942.

The cover does fit my '03's and appears to be made for that action.

I have not seen this type cover in any of the 1903 Springfield or web gear books that I have.

Can anyone shed light on this?

Thanks,

Robert
