I thought this would be a nice rifle for my first post..It sits in a scrubbed 1903a3 stock and the bolt is from the same period as the stock not ep'd..Rear sight slide has been opened up..Comments welcome, thanks for looking, Mike

Nice looking Marine rifle."The first gun that was fired at Fort Sumter sounded the death-knell of slavery. They who fired it were the greatest practical abolitionists this nation has produced." ~BG D. UllmanComment

Just curious about the accuracy of Sedgley barrels.Comment

Very much doubt that the rifle I own is a USMC rifle. It is a 800,XXX SA 1918 receiver w/ Sedley barrel in a scant stock w/ RA-P stamp. When Danish M-2 was commonly available, I fired a number of 10 shot strings at 100 yds. from sandbags. Groups were under 2.0 inches, many were right about 1.5 inches. The barrel is ever so slightly hazed, doubtless from someone not properly cleaning, but happily the bore is very sharp w/ an excellent muzzle... 5/16 inch showing using HXP M-2 ball.
