1894 SRS Request

[M1 C FAN]

Thank You Tom in NJ. Yeah, I thought modifications had been done to the sights at least from what I have checked over the years. So would it be just a coincidence then that a rifle with a hit 5 numbers away went to the Dakotas and this one was bought in the Dakotas? Don`t want to beat a dead horse. She is priceless to me no matter the history.

Yup.

It's possible it was issued somewhere else in one of the Dakotas...but it almost certainly didn't go to the same place as the others that are recorded.

Thanks RCATHEY. Wish I could have dug through the barrel of 1903`s, Enfields and Krags my uncle bought her out of. Long lost days.

You ain't kidding!
My uncle talks of similar arrangements of foreign stuff in the '80s at the local Coast 2 Coast. If only we had a time machine. Answer some questions and snag some souvenirs while we're at it haha.
