Here is some information and photo's of my 1920 National Match 1903 in the format Chuck Russell uses. I'm also including first, Chucks information on two other rifles that are on his list of rifles in that serial number range. One of these is described as a National Match (1920) rifle and the other, although not labeled as a (1920) National Match, certainly sounds like one too.

It's of some interest that the bolt on my rifle is a J5 instead of the expected J6 that is on some other 1920 National Match rifles. No doubt correct for my rifle as is the non-serif cut off it has too.
