    Some time around the fall of 1961 or 1962, I knew a man who worked part-time at Klein's Sporting Goods warehouse in Chicago while attending college.
    There was a big advertised sale of hi number 1903 rifle for $34.95 each, which was a good price and he told they received a few hundred 1903 rifles
    for the weekend sale. He had a chance to look these rifles over before the sale, he was looking for star gaged marked muzzles from National Match
    rifles but unable to find any - but he did find two rifles with USMC stamps a a circle s stamp and bought them. The first one was s/n 1031506 with a
    circle s 9-41 dated barrel which he later sold to me. The other rifle was s/n 1,279,085 with a Sedgely USMC 9-42 dated barrel with wrench marks.
    The bolt was marked NS and the receiver had the Hatcher hole. the stock was a C with drawing number D-1836 with a heavy checkered butt plate.
    This man is retired now and living in Flordia but still owns the rifle.
