Originally manufactured as an 03/05 rifle and altered to 1906 configuration, rifle number 201982 shows how the ‘03 rifle evolved from rod bayonet configuration to 30.06 configuration. The barrel is dated 05 only, no month. The GRG marked stock maintains the original straight line on the left and right angle on the right that was altered in 1910.
