1919RIA NM/Service Rifle

[Jim Tarleton]

Am I mistaken, or were there only 200 RIA 1919 NM rifles ever made?

I read somewhere that the 1921 USMC match team traveled with 200 match rifles. Wouldn't that make the 1919 RIA match rifle quite rare?

The exact quantity made is not known. One document states that 2,000 rifles were placed on order. Another document suggests that the actual quantity produced was 2,251.

Take your pick.
