jmm03-Here are the only other photos that I could find. Should you need further detail, please advise and I'll forward them to your email address. I have trouble with photos to a forum for some reason. Also have rifle #1257703, a 1 in 10" twist Winchester. That rifle is not documented, but identical to this rifle other than twist.

Hi Bill,I just like to see older target rifles,my holy grail of 03's would probably be a style T similar to yours.Just something real pleasing about old iron... Thanks, Jim

Siefly and RCS- very nice USMC rifles you have there! I have one as well, and am hoping to be able to add one with a USMC 41 or 42 barrel in the future to continue with the collection.

Look in the recess for the cutoff - is there an S stamp?

answer for Rick

On my USMC serial number 1031506 with the Sedgely 9-41 barrel, the mark inside the cut-off recess is an O also unable to find a proof stamp but that could have been removed ?

Rick- whats the meaning behind the mark you were referring to in the cut off well? A sub inspector's stamp, or is it USMC related by chance?

Rick, one of my USMC snipers also has a completely unmarked stock (except for the drawing number in front of the rear swivel), if it wasn't for the "O" marking in the magazine cutoff. And just recently bought an exactly identical rifle with nearly pristine stock which has the same "O" in the cutoff and the D1536-4 at the rear sling swivel. Both have no other markings, like the P proof.

Well, since we're opening this thread again, here's another of mine - a Remington M1903, one of the sol called "Red Star rifles. 3,024,801 with a 1-42 RA barrel and RLB-marked stock. The handguard was replaced at some point, but it was done in the UK. One of 200 imported from the UK by Will Levin.
