Springfield Model 1903 Serial #193 With Bayonet .30-06 Caliber
This unique Model 1903 rifle was made by Springfield Armory in 1903 with the serial number # 193. At some point the rifle was reworked by a gunsmith and shortened to a 20" barrel and the stock and handguard were adjusted to the shorter length and can still fit a bayonet. It features a blade front sight and an adjustable ladder rear sight on a 20" barrel. The receiver has the early script "US Springfield Armory Model 1903" with left side magazine cutoff and flag safety on the rear of the bolt. The stock is fitted with lower sling swivels and a heavy checkered National Match butt plate with empty storage compartment. With this rifle comes a Springfield model 1905 bayonet in a plastic scabbard with flaming bomb marking. The blade of the bayonet is marked SA with the flaming bomb and 1914 date and the wood grip has an added 1" plate that says "Hurricane Canadian". The bayonet has a sharpened 16" blade and measures 20 1/2" overall. Canvas US marked muzzle cover also included. LOP: 13". CALIBER/GA: .30-06. S/N: 193. FFL: Curio & Relic.
