*SPRINGFIELD ARMORY MODEL 1903/1915 NRA RIFLE.

*SPRINGFIELD ARMORY MODEL 1903/1915 NRA RIFLE. Cal. 30. SN 621023. This rifle is probably one of the finest examples of a 1915 NRA rifle that I have had the opportunity to examine. It is near flawless and it is equipped with a mod. 1910 Springfield Armory bayonet. CONDITION: Receiver shows 98%+ of dark mottle bluish hardening with magazine cutoff and safety exhibiting nice vivid case colors. Blued bolt shows 98% finish with the only wear being in the lug and extractor area from being actuated. Rear sight and base assembly is perfect. “12-15” dated bbl shows 98% on the outside with some scuffing from a sight cover that is no longer present and a little wear around the muzzle from a bayonet. Middle band shows 99%. Trigger guard and floorplate assembly show better than 98% bright blue with the NRA stamping being very prominent. Rifle is equipped with a very good+ Rock Island Arsenal “1914” dated sling. Buttplate shows no wear at all. Single bolt buttstock has a “JSA” cartouche that you can read across the room, with the circle “P” also showing very prominent, although slightly worn. Stock shows 3 minor dings in the left side of the comb just slightly in front of the buttplate tang. The largest 1 being a knick approx. 1” long and 1/8” and perhaps 1/8” deep. The other 2 are virtually unnoticeable. There are 3 small wear spaces on the bottom of the butt stock, directly below the finger grooves from the sling rubbing on it just a little bit. The finger grooves and stock show as brand new. There are no other marks in this stock. Hand guard assembly is of the high hump, very early, WWI variety that is supposed to be on this gun that matches the stock just about perfect and has no flaws in it. The bayonet and scabbard are your basic “1909” dated Springfield Armory bayonet that is in moderately good condition overall. This NRA rifle is worthy of being in some of the best collections in existence. 4-58746 BK72 (3,000-4,200)
