*LOT OF FIVE SPRINGFIELD TYPE MILITARY RIFLES.

*LOT OF FIVE SPRINGFIELD TYPE MILITARY RIFLES. Cal. 30-06. All 24” bbls. 1) Springfield Armory Model 1903 Mark I. SN 1107374. This is a Mark I Springfield rifle with bbl dated “9-19” that still retains the magazine cut-off and trigger assembly for the Pederson device. It has a Mark I stock, although at some point in time, whether an arsenal or a person filled in the cut-out on left side of stock for ejection port. There is an approx. 3” piece inletted into left side of stock directly underneath ejection port. Rifle is also equipped with Kerr sling. CONDITION: Receiver retains most of a re-blue. Bbl has approximately 20% of orig finish as does rear sight sleeve. Bands retain 40-50% of orig finish. Bore is dirty & rough but might clean some. Upper hand guard is a period replacement as the color doesn’t quite match buttstock but is in very good condition. Buttstock is also in very good condition with exception of inlet that was previously mentioned and has a “SAA” (San Antonio Arsenal) cartouche. Mechanics are fine. 2) Remington Model 1903. SN 3022577. This rifle is a third month production Remington 1903 in fine orig condition. Most of these early Remingtons went to New Zealand under a lend/lease contract, so very few orig specimens exist today in the U.S. CONDITION: Rifle has approximately 98% of orig green Parkerizing on receiver, bbl & bolt assemblies as well as bands. Trigger guard & floorplate assembly retains approx. 90% of orig finish, though there are several small dents in bottom of floorplate itself. There is also just forward of floorplate, mixed in with inspector’s stamps on wood, an approx. 1” tall letter “N” that might possibly be for New Zealand, as most of these rifles went there. Finger groove stock is in excellent plus condition with very few minor dings and exceptionally good edges on finger grooves. It is cartouched with “RLB” but there are two arsenal markings also stamped into left side of stock, even though it appears this gun has never been rebuilt or altered. Upper hand guard is in fine condition also with a minimum of scarring. Front sight is equipped with a sight hood and rifle is equipped with a late WWII sling. Bright shiny bore & excellent mechanics. 3) Remington Model 1903A3. SN 4204548. CONDITION: Rifle is in excellent overall condition, as is rebuilt. Metal retains nearly 100% of an arsenal re-Parkerizing. Bore is in very good condition with just slightest bit of erosion. Upper hand guard is in fine condition. Stock is in excellent condition as a scant replacement stock. Buttplate is Smith Corona. Mechanics are excellent. 4) Rock Island Arsenal Model 1903. SN 380357. Rifle is in very good overall condition as re-built. Mechanics are excellent and bolt is electric pencil serial numbered to rifle as if Match Targeted. CONDITION: Receiver is in excellent condition, as re-parkerized. Bbl is a virtually brand new HS “8-44” dated. Bands & trigger guard assembly are also re-parkerized. Rifle is equipped with a Mark I Springfield stock that is in very good condition with an “RA-P” arsenal mark. Upper hand guard is in fine condition with a National Match drawing number “D28179” very prominent in front of the rear sight groove. Mechanics are fine and bore is near perfect. 5) U.S. Remington Model 1903. SN 3063488. This was a very rare Remington Model 03 receiver that was assembled into a target rifle with Lyman target sights, front & rear, and a military “C” type stock. CONDITION: Receiver & bolt assembly retain 98% of an arsenal re-Parkerizing that is green in color. Bbl is an HS dated “8-44” replacement bbl with a Lyman target sight with removable inserts. Trigger guard, floorplate & bands appear to have nearly all of their orig green parkerized finish as does buttplate. Buttstock & hand guards are in excellent plus condition with a minimum amount of small nicks & dings. Overall this should make a very fine target rifle. 4-58246 BK9 (3,500-4,500)
