*SPRINGFIELD 1903 NRA MARKED T-SERIES TARGET RIFLE. SN 1311395. Cal. 30-06. Fine heavy bbl match rifle with 30″ tapered heavy bbl, modified BAR front sight band with Winchester 17A front sight and a Lyman 48C receiver sight. Bbl & receiver ring are mounted with scope blocks. Rifle is mounted in a modified NRA Sporter stock with dbl crossbolts and a grooved bbl band. Floorplate is standard 1903 machined steel with the “N.R.A.” and flaming bomb stamps on front tang of floorplate. Trigger is modified military style without over-travel. Stock has a flat bottom pistol grip with NRA Sporter/M1922 curved, checkered steel buttplate. Bbl band is equipped with a sling loop with no provision in the butt stock for a rear sling loop, indicating that this may be an old replacement stock. Bolt body & handle are polished bright with a headless cocking piece. These wonderful target rifles were produced in very limited quantities only in the period 1929-1932 with the last Style T rifle sold in 1935, although bbls & barreled actions were available until 1940. Records at the DCM are somewhat sketchy but a search of the records might prove useful in determining where this rifle was shipped and to whom. These great rifles were designed for accurate shooting out to 1,000 yards and were used successfully for many years, well into the 1950s for international match shooting. PROVENANCE: Dr. Leonard Goldfarb Collection CONDITION: Fine to very fine. Bbl retains most of an old restored finish, thin in a few spots. Receiver retains a thin military blue finish and trigger guard & floorplate most of their orig dark military oxide finish. Stock is sound and retains most of a fine custom finish. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore. 4-41205 JWK36 (3,000-6,000)
