looks like the receiver is out of align. Look at the from under the receiver. The lower section looks to be bent inward. might be an optical illusion.

I did pick it up a week ago.

Correct.

The barrel does appear to be original to the rifle. No stock markings left.

Appreciate the info. This rifle does not have any of what I would consider Marine Corp Characteristics. The rifle does look to be original except for the missing cutoff. Finish appears to be original...

Would it be possible to get an SRS lookup on Springfield Armory 646532 please? I would appreciate it.

Damn I got a whole drill rifle that had been restored for $25 more than that.

Is the pin for the Cutoff for a Mark I?

Sorry I was referring to the possibility of Springfield Armory having done this as asked by "Five 0". If Springfield Armory refurbished the pistol after it being recovered I would have expected them...

I would have thought that they would have smoothed out the grind marks and refinished the frame as well. This frame was had patina where the markings had been ground. This pistol had been painted...

You all figured out about the stock. It does appear to be a Mark I stock and I have a Mark I that has all the Mark I parts except the stock.

I passed on a RIA M1903 that had a serial number which put it being manufactured in 1907. It had been re-barreled with an Avis barrel in 1918. The stock is a S type with grasping grooves. The bore...
