Oaks, Pa. gunshow today. I believe it's a USMC. Help appreciated. Rock Island 1903, serial # 372094. J5 bolt electro penciled with same serial #. Hatcher hole, SA 3-38 barrel date, pre war C stock, s in cutoff, milled buttplate with hand stippling. BBl has "pipe wench" marks. An SRS check would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Ken S.

Not a srs hit but I think you know the answer of what it most likely is.

Sounds nice congrats.

That's a desirable piece and a good find. What do C-stocked '03's go for these days???

I paid $1050 OTD for the rifle, no bargain but I think I did OK. I just noticed that there is a second, lighter serial number on the bolt, # 268240. I Think as it's hard to read. Any SRS info on that one? Thanks again,Ken
