This rifle has been around on my Mom's side of the family for a long time. It was my great uncle's, then passed onto my uncle, and now it has been passed onto me. I am a Garandicon guy and admittedly don't know a whole lot about 1903's. The rifle's finish isn't perfect. There are a few small scratches and some pitting. However, the barrel is superb. It has very crisp rifling and a bright, shiny bore. When I got it I figured it was just a sporterized 1903. Then I started doing a little research.

Serial number: 1295073

- 7 - 1928 Springfield barrel which is correct.
-Star marked on muzzle in 6 o'clock position
-Pencil engraved bolt matching receiver serial number, also stamped J5
-Lyman sight marked Patent July 7-1911
-Polished bolt

Unfortunately it doesn't have the original stock as far as I know. I was really hoping somebody could tell me more about it or do a SRS search on the serial number. Thanks!
