Early SA 1903

[RCS]

Any chance this is a .30-'03 and not a .30-'06?

Not a chance (would be nice!) the rear sight would have the 2400 yd range and the barrel date is too late

I still am interested to know if the sear with the bottom hole is correct or not - a few years ago I bought a Rock Island at an estate sale, it was in the 64xxx serial range also with a RIA barrel dated 3-07 with the open bottom rear sight base. The sear on the Rock Island also had the bottom hole too.

The bottom hole in the sear is correct. The rifle is indeed original.

Thanks for sharing!
