    That one is right next to some known sniper rifles and NRA sales rifles. Does it have any holes in the action, or even scope base going with it? Or a NRA marking on the triggerguard?

    Thank you Cplnorton.

    Promo, this rifle is one I ran across for sale locally. A couple things stood out on it. The bolt has a S31 on the bottom of the safety lug indicating 1906-1908, a little early for the serial which is I'm guessing 1916? The barrel looks like an SA 11/27 but it's faint and I would have to get a mag glass out to confirm that. The stock is a straight stock, unremarkable with no cartouches. It does have a stencil on the butt, side. It has smooth rear sight sleeve with a Rem windage screw. The other thing that stood out was the hatcher hole on the left side. Somewhat crude, what you would see on a Marine rifle possibly. The finish looked original. There are no holes drilled, and no NRA on the trigger guard. A couple quick pictures with the phone. Anyone want more info or pictures I can do.

    I'm not interested in it but more curious as we don't see all that many like it up here in the north country.
