Beautiful grain in the stock! I also note the lightening grooves in the FRSB.

the stock has a really pretty grain I think it is all original the fit and finnish reminds me of commercial rifles

I picked this one out of a group of six or seven that came together out of an estate collection, some years ago. I didn't know much about M1903s, but liked this one because it had its original barrel and the bore was really pristine.

1918 rifle that has the "Hatcher" gas-escape hole drilled in the left side of receiver. By extrapolation (s/n 9003xx), this example was likely produced in June of 1918.

Barrel dated 5-18.
Straight bolt handle.
Smooth buttplate.
Serrated trigger.
Stock with grasping grooves and a two reinforcing bolts.
High-hump handguard with sight line clearance cut.
Rear sight without 2850 yard volley notch.

Slight correction: The receiver was serialized in Februaqry 1942; the barrel is original, though. Nice rifle!

Hey TDH,

Does your stock seem to have been scraped? I have one that looks similar to yours, maybe it's just the lighting. Is there a Hatcher hole, a 3/16 or so hole drilled into the left front side of the receiver?

LB

No hatcher hole and it doesn't look to be touched otherwise
