Havn't got it in my hands yet...bore is good from hands on description at auction house. The gun looks to be nearly mint...has the right colour blue, right markings etc. Star Gauged Barrel. Serial # show up on SRS lists etc...In the 20s and 30s one could buy the parts from Springfield to convert your 03 into a Sporter, thats why the matching numbers mean $$$$$.
I have Springfield, G&H, AO Neidner and Sedgley Sporters in various calibers most notably 22 Hornet
Now this Sporter fills the last gap in the collection.. This is a rifle I never really was after, but when opportunity knocked I had to go for it. I knew from the get go it wouldn't be cheap.
Lately I have a thing for M1 NM Garands or High serial #ed ones.
