    Need help IDing, confirming ID of 1903 Springfield NRA Sporter 1922 Barrel Band

    Sorting through a bunch of 03 parts I got at a local action, mostly early parkerised parts but a lot of blued small parts. I found 2 barrel bands that look like they belong on an 1903 Springfield NRA Sporter. Both have the U stamped on the side, They look like they have a worn dark finish, not sure its parkerised. Can't seem to match them up to any other mil rifle. did I ID them correct?

    Could also be for the M1922 series of 22 caliber trainers ( could be a little difference however, between the 30 and 22 caliber barrels ).

    The 1922 series rifle barrels and the NRA Sporter barrels had the same exterior dimensions. The barrel bands you have should fit either. The NRA Sporters barrel bands had a shiny black finish. All the M2 Rifle bands were parkerized as were the barrel bands on 1922 and 1922M1 rifles that went through arsenal rebuild.
