One of only 4,495 Springfield Armory Model 1903 "sporting rifles" manufactured from 1923 to 1932. The sporting versions were hand built by the U.S. Springfield Armory using new Model 1903 National Match receivers fitted with star-gauged National Match barrels. The receiver rails, bolt assemblies, and triggers were hand polished for smooth operation, like the Model 1903 National Match rifles, and fitted with National Match nickel steel (N.S.) marked bolts, which were hand lapped and carefully head-spaced. Standard receiver markings, with the barrel marked "SA/ordnance bomb/1-32" and with a "*" star-gauge mark on the muzzle. The barrel is fitted with a standard M1903 front sight base and blade, and the receiver with a Lyman 48C target type micrometer rear sight. Fitted with an original straight grain American walnut pistol grip sporting stock with a single barrel band and heavier "NRA sporter" style cupped steel buttplate, along with a circled serif "P" firing proof inside the curve of the pistol grip.

Excellent, retaining 95% plus original blue finish with minor edge wear, thinning, and freckling. The stock is excellent with crisp proof and original raised grain. Mechanically excellent.
