Barrel is dated 5-20. The bolt is polished and stamped J6. The rails and follower are polished. The trigger is checkered at the tip. It has been drilled and tapped for a Lyman 48S receiver sight. I'm new to 1903's and no where near qualified to make any call. Been doing my due diligence as far as research and nothing I can find is telling me it isn't a National Match rifle. Opinions appreciated.

    Could possibly have been a NM rifle, but I think later than a 1920 NM. See SRS info below:

    1196783 NM 08/17/26/ 1926 NM TO SA
    1196807 NM 05/24/24 INFANTRY TEAM 1924 NM
    1196823 NM 05/24/24/INFANTRY TEAM 1924 NM
    1196831 06/20/32 NJ NG
    1196852 02/28/31 ASST SECT WAR (REPAIRED)
    1196994 NM 05/24/24 INFANTRY TEAM 1924 NM
