1903 Full Stock Special Order 55cm Barrel
11/09/10 09:58 PM

It has taken me a while to snap a few photos. These are not particularly good photography, but here's a look at the M1903 I recently bought:

This rifle, proofed in 1908, was a special order with a 55cm (21 5/8") barrel. It is virtually mint, aside from the rubs on the buttplate, and may be unfired since proof. The bolt shows almost no rubs. It's so cherry it's scary.

I have a full compliment of loading dies, brass, and bullets. So far I haven't even loaded ammo. I suppose I'll shoot it, but I'll have to build up my courage.

The rifle came to me from William Larkin Moore & Sons. I have the greatest respect for that company and the Moore family. I have done business with them for 15 years or so. Every transaction has been perfect. This rifle was described conservatively, and my impression when it arrived was that its condition is better than I expected.

Edited to correct my faulty metric measure!
