My only 1903

This is my only 1903. Barrel is (as you can see) HS 12 44, I recently moved and this was way at the back of the safe. I think the last time I saw it was 2008!

she is clean. nice

Sweet.!!! Did someone wax'er up.??

Very Nice!

Not that I am aware of, I have only wiped it down with a very light coat of BLO.

One of the nicest examples of a late-war rebuild I have seen!

Is it normal for the area below the recess to be crushed by a closed bolt as seen in picture 4?

Somebody may have tried to use a turned down bolt on it (i.e. a bolt turned down for a scope).

Nice rifle! I like the early Scant stocks make by SA. Is it possible for the rifle to be, not a "re-build", but an original build of spare parts? Maybe the stock was used as NOS?

The semi-circular relief under the bolt was done by an arsenal, but the dent below does look like another bolt was smashed in. Who knows?
