    Hi Kurt,
    I do not know where I came up with the reference to Remington barrels with reference to the Style "T". BROPHY mention the 26" barrels on page 130 but does not mention the origin. I think I confused it (when writing from memory) with the other heavy barreled target rifles mentioned earlier in BROPHY which used Remington barrels.
    Sorry about that.
    The SRS ad mentions a Winchester barrel. I have not seen any data referencing either Winchester or Remington with regard to the Style T. I always thought they were manufactured by SA.
    The picture used in the original Style "T" Notice in the AR is incorrect. It shows the Model 1922 target rifle not the "T".

      I'm still waiting for this old klunk to become a rarity. It may well have to become a part of my estate.

        Looks as if it has a Winchester barrel
        It already is! I believe that it has already been identified as a 1924 International Match Rifle with an original Winchester barrel. No dimensions are given but it appears to have a 30 " barrel.
        Special stocks, barrels and actions were available through the DCM in the 20's and 30's.
        It's a beauty.

          No sorry at all, it's darn confusing when you read about the many different variations involved. Interesting that the model T's in the listings I've found in the past all say they have a Winchester front sight. I only assume that's the sight itself as the band was supposedly adapted from a BAR rifle. I guess there just weren't enough of these to command the interest and info that many others do. They are one interesting gun and it would be a thrill to shoot.

          Thanks to all that have weighed in! Bill, are you in to adoption? lol.

          As the late Turner Kirkland was fond of saying, "If you want good oats, you have to pay the price. If you'll take oats that have already been through the horse, those come cheaper."

            Yes, this rifle is documented, Cosine. Sure would love to have the complete history on it. I do know that it was the property of the winner of the Marine Corp. Cup in 1940, but little else.

            I'm in to adoption, Kurt............Paid adoption.

            Many years ago I tried to track down a "T" here in Illinois. That never worked out, but sure wish it had.
