Nice rifle Rick, looks like one of the early rifles assembled using the usable parts that were original made for the RB and 30-03 rifles and were never assembled but stored to be used later. Rare to see a 1908 dated stock on one of them, and a beauty at that, as most rifles weren't assembled with the early parts until 1909-10. Nice to have one that was assembled so early, Ray
Nice!!!
Very nice, I really like the old script serial numbers on the RIA’s , I have a 106k Rifle but it doesn’t have an original barrel (1907/08?). Thank you for sharing. Interesting thread.
