I saw one today at a gunshow. Could buy it tomorrow. Particulars:



1.2 million SA receiver that has a "circle stamp" - not a punchmark - just below the serial number. It looks like a small "o"



Barrel is a 1944 HS



Front sight has a "2" and a punchmark stamped on the right side.



Receiver has a hatcher hole. Not blued/looks like a light gray/greenish park color.



Stock is a very beat up C stock. I couldn't find any markings other than an "XO" or "OX" scratched in the forestock part.



Butt plate is a checkered variety with a small trap door and is stippled.



Bolt is a 1903A3 with some numbers electopenciled on the flat area (not behind the handle but on top) of the bolt (it's a Remington bolt)



Lower band is stamped not milled, but that doesn't seem like much.



Everything on this rifle looks old (the buttplate looks like it was mated with the wood for 30 years or so) and like it has been in place.



THe reason for the speed is I could buy it tomorrow for between $600 and $500 - the person is asking $600. Bore looks decent (looks like maybe some old speckles in there at places. I don't know what it gauges though. Didn't have gauges.



What do you think? USMC possible? mixmaster not worth $600?


Thanks all.
