No listing in V-4. others around it are SPAR mumbers.
very nice...i love it is it still 30-03. or had the cal, been changed?
if it aint broke...fix it till it finally is.
Is there a name engraved on the floorplate? Is the name a Jr.? US Navy officer with connections. Difficult to acquire an '03 that early in production. Very interesting rifle.
It's purported to have belonged to a USMC officer. I would rather not be fixated on one name until I can do a bit of research on that individual.
Michael,
In case you didn't notice, the owner's initials are engraved in the floorplate. If I read the initials correctly, they are "L W T Jr "
Hope this helps.
J.B.
John- I think you are correct. I couldn't make it out, I saw an "R" and a "W", with the "Jr". But you are right, John. (Nice work)
