1. Springfield 1903, $525: **GunBroker item. You must contact me before there is a GunBroker bid.** This is an early US M1903 rifle manufactured by Springfield with a one-bolt finger-groove stock. The serial number range is 593,xxx and it has what appears to be the original issue barrel dated 12-14 and one-bolt finger groove stock. Most of the markings have been sanded off the stock but there are two faint proofs on the wrist. The upper handguard is the WWII variety. All the parts are milled, including all of the buttplate, bands, sling swivels, floorplate and trigger guard. The buttplate is checkered and the trigger is serrated. The bore is in good condition with some roughness in the last inch or so near the muzzle. Very minor pitting under the handguard. The rear sight base was replaced at some point. I'm not expert in finishes but the replaced rear sight base seems to be parkerized. The remainder of the barrel and action does not appeared to have been parkerized; there is not much original finish – perhaps less than 50%.
