National Match

[cd4dallas]

I saw a 1903 Springfield rifle for sale that appears to have all the national match features. It's serial number 1272515. It has a 2-28 dated barrel. Is it possible to check to see if this rifle is listed as a national match. Merry Christmas to all... Chris

Thanks for looking. I appreciate the assistance! Chris

It MAY be one that was sold or used "out of service" and not recorded. Can you post pictures?

[03collector]

Rick is correct i have one in my collection just like it. Not all NM rifles can be documented.

[Rick the Librarian]

But it has to have all the correct features. If it doesn't it is just another service rifle.

I'm having trouble getting the photos to post. Can I e-mail them to someone to look at? Chris

I'll send a private message with my address.
