Does anyone have this list or anything similar? I lifted this quote off of Milsurps.com, see below.

Ft Dupont to SA means the rifle was sent to be used at the Ft Dupont rifle matches. After the match it was returned to Springfield Armory. I have had two rifles that were listed as such. The first was used at the match, returned and rebuilt as a standard issue rifle. The second rifle, which I still own, was returned and rebuilt as a NM rifle with a 1928 "Star" barrel. The paper work shows a list of about 40 or 50 rifles that were returned to SA. There are a group of "A" rifles & a group of "B" rifles. The "A" rifles were used in the matches, the "B' rifles were not used.
