*SPRINGFIELD MODEL 1903/1915 NRA RIFLE. SN 608016. Cal. 30-06. 24″ bbl. This rifle is a 1915 Springfield NRA sales rifle that shows to be in very good orig condition retaining all of its orig parts with the exception of a replacement front sight hood. It has a JSA cartouched, single bolt stock with a fine checkered buttplate. Trigger guard/floor plate assembly having NRA with flaming bomb just behind the front floor plate screw. This rifle is also equipped with a period, 1917 date leather sling and a very interesting component found in the butt trap: a single wooden dowel that has been drilled and modified to retain a spare extractor, firing pin and striker assembly.

Bolt retains better than 85% of its orig blue with the wear being on the handle and marks front he extractor.
