Are there any British Proof marks? The roller "may" be the key. DS triggers are not easy to squeeze into a 1903/1922. I like this rifle and this is and will be interesting.

The hook buttplate looks exactly like one pictured on 1924 International Match Rifle, sn 1930 on page 121 of the Springfield 1903 Rifles by Brophy. While it is described as a 1924 IM, the rifle it was made from is a Model of 1922. The IM rifle had a DST but it is not the same as the one pictured on the rifle in question. I wonder what shooting discipline it was made up for as the IM rifles had palm rests in addition to the DST and hook puttplate. The subject rifle is very beautiful.

The windage knob is not original. The one on the sight now is probably better for adjusting windage. I think the owner must have been a serious rifle competitor.

Herschel,
Was the 1924 IM hook butt made of aluminum? There is a threaded hole in the front of the TG for a palm rest but not like the Springfield type palm rest. This hole was a modification after they filled the space between the floor plate and the front screw. I think I sent Michael a photo of the modification. By the way, the TG is from an '03 and not from the M1922.

If the guard in the photo of the set triggers is the one on your 1922 it is a Mauser guard, not a Springfield 03


I learn something every day, and a lot of times it's that what I learned the day before was wrong

Only the rear part is Mauser, from the rear vertical part back. The front is Springfield and it was welded together at the rear part of the box.

Gary,

There are no British proofs anywhere.

Most of the late group of Milsurp Swedish Mausers imported have had threaded muzzles. It was to attach a training device that allowed the use of wooden bullets for training. The device would shred the bullets upon exiting the muzzle,

Here's a photo of the device...



A quick explanation..

Dan, The hook buttplates I have seen were aluminum. The buttplate in the photo I mentioned appears to be aluminum. In the text I have found mention that the buttplate on Model of 1922 #1930 is the second type. I believe the first type was adjustable.

I have forwarded a link to this thread to Lynn Meredith. He is the man that I believe knows most about the International Match Rifles. I don't know if he will choose to join this discussion.

The modified triggerguard/floorplate assembly leads me to think this rifle was made up for international match competition. I believe the Springfield Armory made 1924 IM rifles had heavy barrels.

Tom Davis was correct in his guess, the gun was done by Ross King. Anyway that is what Michael and I have concluded after the only other roller for the striker like this is on a Ross King '03. Plus the PG checkering and the bolt knob checkering.
