*SPRINGFIELD MODEL 1903.

*SPRINGFIELD MODEL 1903. Cal. 30-06. SN 1302115. This rifle is a very nice example of a transition from 03 to 03A1. From 1928 until 1932, 03’s were built in 3 variations. There were the National Matches, 03A1’s with C-stocks, or still available, but harder to come by, were the 03’s with finger grooved S-stocks. Most people opted for the 03A1 variation or the National Match; therefore the late 20’s/early 30’s vintage 03’s are rather scarce. This is a fine example retaining lots of condition. CONDITION: Metal of this gun retains better than 90% of blackish-greenish Parkerizing or oxidizing that the armory was known for in those days. Bbl is equipped with a sight hood. Bolt is a grayish-greenish Parkerizing and retains about 85-90% of its finish. “JFC” cartouche buttstock with finger grooves is in very good condition but has a fair amount of wear to the edges of the finger grooves. Buttplate retains approx. 50% finish with scattered pitting and nicks throughout. Bore shows significant signs of use with both light and dark spots throughout and may clean better. 4-58254 (1,000-2,000)

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2007

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
