    Enfield, everything else is just a rifle. Unless it's a Garand.

        Hits on M1903A3s are few and far between.

                That one is right next to some known sniper rifles and NRA sales rifles. Does it have any holes in the action, or even scope base going with it? Or a NRA marking on the triggerguard?

                  Thank you Cplnorton.

                  Promo, this rifle is one I ran across for sale locally. A couple things stood out on it. The bolt has a S31 on the bottom of the safety lug indicating 1906-1908, a little early for the serial which is I'm guessing 1916? The barrel looks like an SA 11/27 but it's faint and I would have to get a mag glass out to confirm that. The stock is a straight stock, unremarkable with no cartouches. It does have a stencil on the butt, side. It has smooth rear sight sleeve with a Rem windage screw. The other thing that stood out was the hatcher hole on the left side. Somewhat crude, what you would see on a Marine rifle possibly. The finish looked original. There are no holes drilled, and no NRA on the trigger guard. A couple quick pictures with the phone. Anyone want more info or pictures I can do.

                  I'm not interested in it but more curious as we don't see all that many like it up here in the north country.
