Very Fine Pre-World War I U.S. Springfield Armory Model 1903 N.R.A. Sales Model Bolt Action Rifle with Sling

This is a very desirable U.S. Springfield Model 1903 bolt action rifle that was sold to N.R.A. members through the D.C.M. program prior to WWI. This rifle is marked with the distinctive "flaming bomb/N.R.A." underneath on the front of the trigger guard assembly to differentiate it from the standard issued service rifles. The receiver is roll marked with the five-line, standard Springfield Armory markings, and the barrel is marked "S.A./flaming bomb/12-15" behind the front sight. The rifle has an oil quenched casehardened receiver and the all blued milled components that include the bolt, trigger guard, and floorplate. It is fitted with a walnut "S" style stock that has a single reinforcing bolt, checkered buttplate, and buttstock compartment. It has the correct high hump handguard has the proper rear sight clearance cut and spring clips. The rifle has a serrated trigger, dished windage and elevation knob, and rear sight leaf with the 2,850 yard notch. The right side of the rear bolt lug is marked "I 8". It has the milled barrel bands with the upper barrel band marked "H" on the bayonet lug. 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 there is a small "13" above a circled script "P" firing proof stamped behind the trigger guard. Includes a 1907 pattern sling marked "ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL 1915" (same date as rifle!), front sight hood, and oiler inside of stock.

ConditionVery fine with 80% of the original blue finish. Showing some areas of light high point and edge wear, light scattered spotting and freckling, general handling marks and areas with brown patina. The wood is excellent with some light handling marks, some light dents and scratches, crisp markings, and crisp grasping grooves. Mechanically excellent.
