The 1907 front sight as on the '03 Springfields is a dead give away. Mine won't ever be a collector as it is a cut-down. The stock that came on it was quite Bubba'd. Or I may look for an original, but they are alot of money and how do you know that someone hasn't made one from parts?Thanks Leadman!! It will never be collector, but it would still look more original. If I can find another stock I may do the same as you. The added in pistol grip was done very nicely though. Shiloh, nice looking rifle! I think mine looks worse in person than the pictures show. It is really amazing the quality of some of the conversions. I know alot of people look down on this old sporers, but they are a part of our dads or grandfathers history. 313" 311299 with various charges of Unique. Very good job whoever did it, the seam is barely visible and an excellent match for color. Has a lever on it so the sight can be raised to remove the bolt.Ī piece of walnut was inlet into the stock to form a pistol grip and then this area was checkered. No name on the sight but there is what looks like a deer jumping with a circle by the front of the deer. No sight on the barrel but it has a receiver sight mounted on the left side of the receiver. It has a 22 inch barrel with a 1903 front sight. I kinda felt bad thar he didn't want to keep it, but he had no interest in it. He inherited it from his grandfather 25 years ago. The guy told me it hadn't been out of the case for 25 years.
Bought an 1898 sporterized Krag yesterday.
