A small number of these rifles were sold to civilians through the DCM program and they were marked "N.R.A.". This rifle is marked with the ordnance bomb over "N.R.A." on the floor plate assembly. The rifle has an oil quenched casehardened receiver and blued barrel, bolt, trigger guard and buttplate. The "S" style stock has a single reinforcing bolt, checkered buttplate and buttstock compartment. The right side of the stock at the receiver ring tapers rather than having the square corner. The "high hump" handguard has the proper rear sight clearance cut and spring clips. The rifle has the correct thick profile serrated trigger, large diameter (9/16"), dished, windage knob and rear sight leaf with 2,850 yard notch. The blued straight handle bolt is unmarked. The upper barrel band has the correct "H" on the bayonet lug. The receiver has the standard Springfield Armory markings and the barrel is marked "S.A./flaming bomb/2-15" behind the front sight. The safety and cut-off lever are casehardened. The left side of the stock wrist is stamped with the Ordnance final inspector's initials, "J.S.A." in a rectangle and the circled script "P" firing proof is stamped behind the trigger guard behind a small "15". The stock lacks the small "S" mark on the forend tip found on early Model 1903 rifles. The butt trap contains a combination oiler and cleaning kit.

Very fine with 85% plus of the original blue finish. The rifle displays some small areas of light high point and edge wear, general handling marks, minimal light spotting and pitting, and some light cleaning marks on the front barrel band. The receiver has 90% original dark oil quenched casehardened finish with a small spot of thinned gray patina at the top center. The wood is excellent with a few light handling marks and indentations and crisp markings. Mechanically excellent.
