Not a sporting rifle, but interesting none the less. Found it at the recent Tulsa show. The receiver is a 1919 and as near as we can tell started life as a NM rifle. In talking with those who know a lot more about these than me, we still are not sure exactly how it came to be in the configuration it is. I do think that the work was done at Springfield Armory, but really can not prove it. According to what I have been able to find, it is closest to a 1921 International Match (IM), but the ser # is to low, and the stock is drilled for the cleaning kit which it is my understanding that the 1921 IM rifles were not. Hope you enjoy the pics. If you have any questions I'll try to answer as best I can, and if you have any additional information that might help pin down exactly what it is I am all ears.

Thanks,
John

Cool!!!!!!!! Any distinguishing marks on the underside of the barrel? What quality is the barrel channel inletting? What is the barrel length?

No markings on the barrel anywhere. Barrel is 24". The barrel channel work is fair, but not what I would expect from Springfield Armory gunsmiths.
