Find attached of my newest purchase, a 5 - 15 dated SA M1903. The rifle is equipped with scope mounts for the Winchester A5 scope (which will arrive hopefully soon, as I had it shipped seperately for security reasons). Please also note the carved trigger and the polished rails. Barrel is additionally marked "M40" and "P" hidden under the wood, front of stock is marked with a big S. Also, the mounted Lyman rear sight is the rarer 1000 yard version. Hidden under the wood the original finish is nearly perfect, see the pictures. Oh yeah, and the barrel of course is shiny blank .

According to the SRS list, this rifle is only 450 digits away from a block of 1915 dated Infantry Rifle Team M1903 NM rifles (with the last one 605.347, dated 24.11.1915). Could this be that there is any connection to those rifles (maybe a private purchase?) since all modifications on the rifle appear definately not new-age and the finish matches perfectly everywhere. Let me know your opinion on it!

ATB,

Georg

PS: For those who might ask themselves - sorry guys, it indeed came from the US as I couldn't pass up this one ..
