This side's all chewed up from setting clips...neat. Definitely been doing testing with that one.

Jim, Look at the trigger guard (no ring on the back) front sight without ears. Early slant cut operating rod

I don't know why, but the front sight looks different and has no guard.

Looks like a 1903 front sight base and blade to me.

Yes, I saw that right off, before they added the sight ears and the they had to bend them out so they didn't get mistaken for the sight blade. The two grooved bands are clearly visible which are the very beginning, like the 1903 bands. I can't explain the trigger guard, I thought the first ones had a bullseye type center? Slant cut should be correct too, I'd love to know what number that one is...and where it is now.

A very early Model Shop (actually Tool Room) rifle before the first field tests resulted in modifications. The bulls-eye grasping area was added to the trigger guard to make opening it easier, and guard wings were added to the front sight to eliminate bending it. The serial number is probably 5, that rifle was used for a lot of the early photos.
Real men measure once and cut.
