1903 NRA Springfield Sporter...or Nationa Match rifle
A few weeks ago I won a Springfield Sporter style rifle at an auction. I got it pretty cheap and was encouraged by the fact that it is listed on the Springfield Research Service data base...but as a NM model. It is strange, however, because dozens of rifles before this one and dozens after, all consecutive serials, are listed as Sporters.
I'm guessing that the data base is off or that a buyer converted a NM model to a sporter configuration.
Description advised a serial number of 1266801 and a "Star Crown".
