That's another thing that bothers me about this rifle.

I know, that's one of the things that bothers me. He also has a sporterized 303 he is asking 300 for it.

It's listed on the group as a 1917.

Nothing really I just know there are 303s out there that are khyber pass rifles. It is posted on a Facebook trade group and I wanted to make sure it wasn't dangerous. He is asking 200 hundred for it.

Can you infur anything from this?

Well, today I finally got the shipping conformation on my M1. It will be here tomorrow. Per the serial it appears to be a Springfield Armory built in January of '45. Can't wait to get my hands on it and post some pics. I also finally was able to purchase a 1903A3 yesterday and will have it in my han...

I know it's likely hard to tell by these picks but can any of tell if this is a khyber pass rifle? I will be meeting this person to marrow and taking more detailed pics to submit here. What should I look for?

Ok so that is a repair on the hand gaurd? I though so but wasn't sure. I guess that answers it then. Clearly a refurb. Thank you.

Ya know guys, the more I look at the rifle the more I'm starting to believe it may not be refurbed. There are no refurb marks I could find on the rifle. And the bolt is absolutely brand new with a high gloss in areas that don't make contact. This and the electro penciled serial lead me to believe th...

Receiver markings.

Bolt markings.

Yeah its got an electro penciled serial on the bolt so no doubt about uts a refurb. I am curious though as to why the bolt needed to be replaced on such a late a post war rifle. Also everything else appears to be original. I wonder if the original bolt was somehow lost. Like the soldier removed the ...

Yeah I beleive this was the issue with my friend. He didnt bother to build any kind of rappore with the dealer. He just went right to grinding. I was in there the day before just looking around and bullshiting with the owner. Needless to say, he cut me 5 bucks off the sling when I went in. I didnt e...

Pics are up. check it out and let me know what ya think.
