What can you tell me about my new 1903

[Dknight]

Your rifle has been arsenal-overhauled, refinished (parkerized), and re-assembled from mixed parts. If the stock is original to the overhaul, then the overhaul was done at Springfield Armory in the early 1920's.

Stay safe!

p.s.,

A very good probability exists that your rifle was once a Special Target or National Match rifle.

Thanks John! May I ask, how do you know the overhaul was done in the early 1920s? What part gives that away?
