I have a Springfield 1903, barrel date is 6-24 with a serial #1265029. I believe it is a NRA sporter. One problem is that i don't see a star gauge mark. The stock is almost 100% the rest about 95%. Any info and estimate value would be great. Thanks again.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Your rifle is listed as a DCM Sales Sporter. Is it possible that the mark was removed by someone cleaning up the crown? If you have the barrel and receiver out of the stock, look on the bottom of the barrel for the Star Gauge record number. It will be a letter followed by up to four digits.
