JSA WAS A CORRECT CARTOUCHE!!! JSA WAS ARMORER AT THE SPRINGFIELD ARMORY UNTIL 1904 , ITS IN THE BOOK I TOOK PICTURES OF THE BOOK !, JSA SEEN ALONE INDICATES THE WEAPON WAS BUILT AT THE ARMORY AFTER REGULAR PRODUCTION STOPPED IN 1895-96 .
, CADET RIFLES ARE RARE,THIS CONDITION IS NOT FOUND, I HAVE OWNED THE GUN FOR 10 YEARS.BOUGHT FROM AL FRASCA
WHEN JSA CARTOUCHE IS ALONE , THIS MEANS ASSEMBLED AT THE ARMORY IN SPRINGFIELD MA , THIS IS AS MINT AS YOU FIND THEM.
I received a email from AL FRASCA ADVISES GUN BUILT 1883 AS A FULL SIZE RIFLE , THEN CONVERTED TO CADET FROM REMAINING PARTS AFTER 1895 , TEST FIRED AND CARTOUCHED 1900 JSA .LIKE I STATED NO MIS REPS GUN IS 100% CORRECT PER AL FRASCA LETTER.
I BOUGHT THE GUN FROM AL FRASCA , AL ADVISE THE GUN WAS BUILT AS A FULL SIZED RIFLE , THEN CONVERTED TO A CADET AFTER 1895 USING THE FRAME AND A NEW BARREL AND WOOD ALL CADET SIZE , SO THE BARREL THE WOOD THE SPECIAL BUTT PLATE AND RAMROD ETC.AND THEN TEST FIRED IN 1900 AND INSPECTED BY JSA , JAMES ALLIN .
THIS IN NO WAY AFFECTS THE ORIGINAL BUILD DATE AND ANTIQUE STATUS OF THE GUN , IT IS AN ANTIQUE , IT WAS TEST FIRED IN 1900 , THE SERIAL NUMBER WAS NEVER CHANGED!
I PUT THIS IN FOR ALL YOU DOUBTING THOMAS'S WHO DONT KNOW THE RULES.
