1905 manufactured M-1903 Springfield service rifle in the 102XXX (SA) serial range. Rebuilt with a scant grip stock and '42 HS barrel in early World War II. Excellent condition and very accurate.

'03 Sporter: 1918 manufactured Rock Island Arsenal barreled receiver with an old style Redfield brass aperture ring sight. Incredibly accurate. 327XXX (RIA) serial range. Walnut Rhinehart-Fegen (sic) stock.

'03 Sporter: 1926 manufactured Springfield Armory barreled receiver with Winchester Model 70 iron sights. Walnut Rhinehart-Fegan stock. Have not shot it yet.

serial number is in the group (SRS) of USN/USMC rifles, rifle came with TENN marked stock. Still would like more information. The receiver has the "Hatcher hole" and bolt is later NS marked.

Here is a picture of my father-in-laws 1903. I received it from him about 30 years ago. He served in WWII. All original Springfield. Barrel dated 11-18, serial number in the 780,000 range. Cartouche on stock. I used it for years dear hunting. It is extremely accurate. I stopped shooting it a couple of years ago when I found out how valuable it was. Beautiful rifle, wonderful history and family heirloom.

made in 1918. refurbed during late WW2 with a Segley barrel.

[Dookiebutt]

Much better!

[Robert Seccombe]

Early barrel dated SA 2-07 with a nice bore, early rear sight base with bottom cut-out and small rear sight knobs. What is really difficult to find is the stock is early without the stock bolt ! and ealy cartouche

[texnmidwest]

Two remington A3O3's one barrel dated 8-43, the other sportered but a remington manufacture. Excellent condition and excellent shooters!
