    M1903A1 NM w/Shipping Crate

    It has been a while since I posted any M1903 pictures and my photo skills are pretty rusty. The attachments are pictures of a very late production (1939) M1903A1 NM I acquired several years ago. The rifle is in new condition and is complete with the original Springfield shipping crate. The crate has SA wax seals over several of the screws. The stock and forearm have the late drawing numbers and the bolt has the late "D-1" code. Springfield was apparently using up M1903 parts when this rifle was manufactured - note the Rock Island rear sight leaf with volley notch and safety with serif "SAFE/FIEW" markings. This is one of two M1903/M1903A1 rifles with pre-WWII shipping boxes I have seen in 30 years of collecting.
