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.
