1939 Serial Number 1903 Springfield Question
I found a 1903 Springfield with a 1939 receiver and '39 barrel. The barrel is star gauged but I don't find the receiver serial number listed as a NM or in lists showing star gauged barrels. The bolt has NS on it. The rear sights is Remington and it has a scant stock with a RIA stamp.
I would rate the metal finish as FINE. I wasn't able to gauge the barrel to get a ME.
So would this be a "put together" as I thought all 1903's with a star gauge was sent to be to be a sniper rifle. I am having trouble putting all of the pieces together. Thanks for the education.
