Manufactured in 1938, this Springfield Model 1903 rifle has been subsequently fitted out in the "1942 USMC Sniper" configuration, with a pair of scope blocks added to the barrel and receiver, the former matched with a specially prepared upper handguard. The barrel is star gauged and dated "SA/3-39", with a "NS" marked bolt that has been electro-pencil numbered to match the receiver. The receiver ring has been drilled and tapped twice, with one set of holes later filled in and the second currently open and used by the receiver block. Smooth pistol grip stock with a circled "P" on the wrist, "L.T.T." on the left side, a brown leather "BOYT/42" sling, a small "GDM" (George D. Moller) collector mark behind the sling swivel, and a checkered buttplate. The J. Unertl 8x scope is "USMC-SNIPER" marked, with a serial number of "2727", threaded steel lens caps and aluminum rings. Included with the rifle is a green painted round scope case and a 1909 dated Springfield bayonet with sheath. Provenance: The George Moller Collection
