WTS/WTT WA Springfield 1903

[daysatsea]

I have a pretty nice 1903 for sale, this 1903 was manufactured in 1936 so it is a late number rifle. It appears to have a factory "s" stock. I am asking $650.00 obo There was some small tapping done on the receiver for a scope but all the vins and everything are in tact. Located in Spokane but would be willing to meet up.

I'm interested. How's the bore? Good rifling?

Bore and rifling look great

Handsome rifle. I wonder if a good metal craftsman could close those mount holes then re-Blue.

I was told by a gunsmith that that's not an uncommon job and he could do it.

The bolt has also been altered. The holes can be welded up and reshaped. Some of the lettering on the front ring will be affected. It can be recut, but takes someone who know what they are doing. And when it gets reparked, the weld will show. No way to help that. But it's got good bones and a great place to start as a shooter. Personally, I'd put plug screws in the mount holes and swap out the bolt body. Then shoot the crap out of it.

GLWS!
