An Interesting Old Rifle
19/03/14 10:27 AM

Dad just came into an interesting old rifle.

Its a 1903 Springfield built at Springfield Armory. The serial number is 538XXX which should put the production date in 1913 or one of the "low number" rifles.

This rifle has been reblued, the bolt jeweled, restocked, drilled and tapped, and looks to be rebarreled (22 inch sporter contour barrel with a witness mark scribed at about the 2 O'clock position that lines up perfectly with the U.S. stamp on the receiver ring).

The stock has a 1950's-1960's style rollover cheek piece and a Herter's recoil pad and white line spacer.

Here are some quick pictures:
