Well, the stock was on the ship. So was this complete rifle? Serial/ barrel date charts matches to 1920 , overall wear and bore condition seem to fit that time frame. It had a WWII rebuild and looks to me like rear sight replaced then.
I couldn't find the WJS stamp in the online data base, maybe a more experienced member will help to date that.
Another reference point would be to pull the bolt and note any markings on handle and safety lug. Reference charts are here. http://www.vishooter.net/m1903.html
Rifle looks great overall with a nice bore. If price isn't ridiculous I would buy it quickly!
