Description

IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WE HAVE A VERY RARE AND HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER 1903 SPRINGFIELD RIFLE MADE AT ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL WITH A BARREL DATE OF DECEMBER 1912 AND A STOCK CARTOUCHE DATE OF 1913, SO IT WAS MADE IN LATE 12 AND FINISHED UP IN EARLY 1913. THIS IS A BLUED NON-REWORKED RIFLE. YOU WILL NOTICE THE EXCEPTIONAL CONDTION OF THE STOCK WITH A VERY CRISP CARTOUCHE. THIS IS A MUCH HARDER TO FIND RIFLE THAN THE SPRIGNFIELD ARMOURY MADE RIFLES. RIFLE LIKE THIS WERE THE APEX OF US MARTIAL COLLECTING NEARLY 50 YEARS AGO AND THEY HAVE ALL BEEN LOCKED UP IN COLLECTIONS FOR MANY YEARS AND RARELY EVER ARE OFFRERED FOR SALE. THIS PAIR OF RIFLES JUST POPPED UP AN THEY WILL NOT LAST LONG. PERHAPS THE FINEST US MARTIAL ARMS EVER MADE.
