Maybe an '03 National match . . . At one time . . . . .

. . . In the distant past!!!

I saw this rifle today in my LGS.

Serial #1511176 . . . . Barrel marked "SA 3-38" with the "turtle" denoting star gaged.

If this was once a NM, it isn't now!

This rifle was sporterized . . . . Make that mutilated . . . years ago, beyond redemption!!

Could someone please check SRS??

Many thanks! --Jim

Jim,
Your serial number is not listed, but it is in amongst many in that serial range that were sold as receivers through the DCM. Pictures would really help.

Thank you sir . . . .
Maybe this WAS sold as a receiver, then made into a rifle using a SA star gaged barrel.
I know some people used this method to make these "hybreds" back in the day.
Many thanks for looking it up. --Jim
