Class: Curio & Relic Long Gun
Description:

Manufactured in 1916, with a Springfield "3-16" barrel, hooded blade front and folding ladder rear sights, excellent replacement trigger guard assembly, and a straight handled bolt. The finger groove pattern walnut stock is "J.S.A."/"circle"/"P" inspected, with a tan canvas Nobuckl-brand sling, sharp checkered steel buttplate, and a professionally made modern hardwood spare parts container in the butt trap complete with an original extractor, firing pin and cocking knob. Many of the 1903 rifles so configured were either refitted to later specifications, used to destruction on the Western Front and other areas of service, or both.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, with 85% plus original blue finish showing some light scratches, bright edge wear, and a few spots of brown and gray patina. Most of the visible wear is on and around the front sight, likely from mounting or dismounting the hood, which is missing the traditional piece across the front to prevent unwanted shifting during recoil or handling. The stock is also very fine, with some light wear and scuffing. Mechanically excellent.
