I recently was given what was thought to be just a run of the mill 30-06 hunting rifle. After further inspection i realized that it was a Springfield Armory Model 1903. The barrel and receiver was put into a montecarlo style stock. The barrel has the flaming bomb stamp with 6-44 date stamp on it. The finish of the barrel is extremely smooth and has a descent amount of bluing left on it.

So far i have been told that the barrel was a replacement and that it was polished and blued at some point. I have no intentions in returning it to it's original condition with a period correct stock. I plan on using it as a hunting rifle for my wife, if i can ever convince her to go.

Here are a few pictures, any and all information about it would be greatly helpful and appreciated.

thanks,
