1903 From Cabelas

nice rifle, sometimes you win,, looks to be a low numbered reciever, and not to be shot, if you look at ViShooters web page, it will explaine the heat lot code on the bolt, very well could be the original.

I know low numbered rifles are said to be dangerous ( I am not going there) but the muzzle didn't get like that from cleaning. I have not put any down range yet...I might some day. For now it's nice to just have a great piece of history. I still can't believe a rifle like this was just sitting on the used gun rack. It was in a group of Scmidt Rubins that were in "like new" condition and all pretty. I saw a gentleman pick this up and then "stalked" the aisle waiting for him to put it down. Then pounced.

According to ViShooters tables, this bolt was from 1/08-10/08 from ser.# 227022 thru 342194. My serial # is 600364. Would a bolt this old be used in an arsenal rebuild? JSA is for J.S. Adams who worked from 1897-1920 at SA, which would make sense for this rifle that has a build date of 1915. But there are no armorers marks on the stock. Could this possibly the original set-up with a different bolt?
