Description:
This is a "high number", meaning double heat treated receiver, safe to shoot, Mod. 1903, WWI era military rifle mfg. by Rock Island Armory in 1920. I purchased the rifle from the CMP [U.S. Civilian Marksmanship Program] in the late 90s. It will come to the buyer in the original CMP box with certification of authenticity that it was inspected and sold to me by the CMP. The CMP charged more for the R.I. with a "C" [hand grip] stock. The C stock is an indicator that the rifle has gone through an armory inspection. The barrel is strong, bright and measures ME of 1.5. The barrel is SA dated 1933. With it's history, the C stock is numbered to the receiver, it appears to have a new trigger assembly, new trigger guard/magazine, spring etc [the follower shows very slight wear. The numbers on the stock, bolt and receiver match. There is a "P" stamped bottom barrel fwd of sight. The upper handguard shows professional armory repair. I thought of replacing the handguard [$30] but that would change it's history. I like the character of the rifle as I purchased it. If interested, I have more photos of specific areas. I completely dismantled the rifle, inspected, and photographed it. It's the quality one would expect from the CMP.
