Another Hole Filled

falconguy · Mar 24, 2015

Greetings,

Big Brown made another delivery that fills a hole in my collection. It's a U.S. Springfield Armory Model 1903 Mark I. The serial number puts the year of manufacture at 1919 and it has a 8-19 SA barrel. It's in great condition and I'm looking forward to taking it to the range.

Very nice! :thumbsup:

That's a collection hole I must fill soon!

That's a beauty. I also need one!

Don't know a good one from a bad one but, that looks nice. Look real good with a unertl 10x scope on top.

A M1903 Mark I was my first rifle and I thoroughly enjoy shooting it. Yours appears to be a nice rebuild and should be quite a fun rifle at the range.

Very Nice! Have fund with your new toy. If you reload try the Nosler's 175grs. My 1903 Mark1 loves the 175grs over the 168grs.

For the M1's the 155grs is a good fit. Shooter's pro shop has 102 in stock as of today.

Nothin' like a piece of good ol' American military history.

Very nice Rifle, I wonder how close in serials ours are. i will have to dig mine out and see.

You appear to have the original barrel, stock, cutoff and spindle. Very interesting. Take a picture of the trigger and sear to see if you have the correct mk one sear.

Also bolt markings to see if you have the original bolt. A mk I with original parts is extremely uncommon.

Very nice

Thanks for the replies! I think she's a beauty.

What should the proper bolt markings be?

I need to see if I can find some pictures of one.

let me ask a friend, I'm horrible at describing the features appropriately.

You have the correct cutoff. I'd be willing to be you have the right sear and trigger as well.
