Description
U.S. Springfield Model 1903, .30-06 cal. bolt action military rifle.  Serial #180829, mfg. Rock Island Arsenal, 1910.  Good condition.  24” barrel bore is a little dark, but with strong rifling.  Stamped:  “HS” “12-44”, so arsenal re-fitted during WW II.   ME: 2.5.  Receiver has nice thinning original blue.  Floor plate and trigger guard have little remaining finish. Butt plate and stock hardware are all very good.  Stock has been refinished smooth – no cartouche visible, some black ink marks on left side – as if wrapped in newsprint at some point. This is a “low-numbered” action so not recommended as a shooter.  Interesting piece connecting both WW I & WW II - much military history.  C&R OK.
