1903 SA#802,733. Possible USMC. What's close to it? I'm pretty sure it's not a hit after talking to knowledgeable folk on other boards(probably some of the same people on this board!).

No hit on 1903 #876002.

Thanks for the info.
I mentioned this rifle to John Beard several years ago and he inferred that it was probably was a USMC rifle.
It has the "boned" stock , "puke" green parkerizing, wrench marks on the the 6-41 "USMC" marked "Sedgeley" barrel. The bolt is electro-penciled with the serial #.
I bought the rifle several year's ago and it was not represented as a Marine Corps rifle then. So I doubt the seller faked it.

Check back with me in a couple weeks, I just found a fairly decent stash of USMC Serial numbers from NARA (DC) when I was there yesterday. Most are surveys of from West Coast Units and marines sent to Santo Domingo. Can't promise it'll be in there but worth looking once I finish entering them.

[Kaliman]

Sounds Marine. Also it's Corps, not Corp.

[islandhopper]

I have a high number RIA that is Marine. If I sent you the serial could you check if it is in your records? Thank you.

[Kaliman]

Send it.

Stupid question were any of the 1903 Greek returns from the CMP several years ago possible USMC?

[Kaliman]

Maybe. You can never say never. The Greeks drilled hatcher holes which tends to throw off some buyers.
