Appears all original by the description, Springfield M1903 sn 1,256,203. I have not physically examined this rifle yet but it is in family hands, my cousin's, and I will have a chance in May to...
Two points on that,
1) It was a little high with that pictured RPA rear sight but manageable, I run that rifle with a Redfield Palma sight on it now which is a lot lower than the RPA, the aperture...
Mac didn’t sign all his guns, I have a M1 Service Rifle I commissioned him to build in 2005 that he didn’t sign, what signature characteristics of his do you believe your rifle has? Hard to tell from...

Please post pictures or a link to pictures. I’m interested in seeing the “2 short/lower straps with brass hooks” and the others with brass hooks. I’ll send you a PM as well.
The bore is absolutely mint in appearance and measurement, the throat and muzzle erosion are both just under 0 (Stone Axe and Duff's respectfully), acknowledging this, Springfield had good reason to...
I’ve always had great success with US Optics, I’ve had several of them, currently I have a SN3 TPal 3.2-17x44 with their GAP mil-reticle mounted on a Rem. 700 PSS M40 clone in .308 Win.. I’m using a...
