WTS 1903 Springfield 30-06 Sn 12157-- which dates to 1921.

This is from an estate sale where it had been cleaned and stored for at least the last 30 years.

 

The pros on this rifle are that the action is exceptionally smooth. The bore is dark but clearly defined. It has the original 1921 barrel with the flaming bomb and "21: stamping.

Just recently got a chance to take it out and put a few rounds thru it and it works flawlessly, even with these old eyes and iron sights , got a decent grouping.

 

Now, for the negative.. This rifle has the most butt-ugly sporter stock on it that I have ever seen in my life. The front sight blade is a Redfield and there is a Redfield (I think) buckhorn type rear sight which was added just aft of the original sight.. The base and windage adjustment from the original rear sight works but the elevation ladder has been removed.

 

Will try to answer any questions but I am no expert on this rifle.

 

Appears buyer will have 3 choices:

A. Leave it as is and shoot the heck out of it. You will be guaranteed to win the ugliest stock competition.

 

B. For about a hundred bucks put on a really nice sporter stock.

 

C. Restore the old girl to her original glory.

 

Asking $200 or best offer.
