Things are slow here, so I thought I would start this thread in
hopes of getting some information on a possible builder of this rifle.
I got this off of gunbroker several months ago, but only picked it up from my dealer yesterday.
I will be happy to provide more pictures if asked. The rifle is a later 1903 Springfield with a serial number of 1,5xx,xxx range. It has been rebarreled and is still in 30-06, there are no markings on the barrel. The trigger guard has been reshaped. The inletting is really good, it is hard to see any gap between the wood and the metal. The screws are timed. It looks like the pad is a new replacement.
Here is a picture of the overall look of the rifle,

It has a Pachmayr side swing scopemount, but is also drilled
and tapped for a Redfield-style scope mount. A sling with the appropriate swivels came with it. That is about all I can think of.
