    Ft. Dupont NM Rifles

    Does anyone have this list or anything similar? I lifted this quote off of Milsurps.com, see below.

    REF: http://www.milsurps.com/archive/index.php/t-13113.html

    Ft Dupont to SA means the rifle was sent to be used at the Ft Dupont rifle matches. After the match it was returned to Springfield Armory. I have had two rifles that were listed as such. The first was used at the match, returned and rebuilt as a standard issue rifle. The second rifle, which I still own, was returned and rebuilt as a NM rifle with a 1928 "Star" barrel. The paper work shows a list of about 40 or 50 rifles that were returned to SA. There are a group of "A" rifles & a group of "B" rifles. The "A" rifles were used in the matches, the "B' rifles were not used.
