I was bored last night and was grazing Guns International. I came across this at G&H... https://www.gunsinternational.com/g...3-springfield-30-06.cfm?gun_id=102912320 I've developed an appreciation for Springfield 1903's like many here. Looking at the pics the only thing I could see that was clearly Jaeger was the scope mount. So I enlarged the pics to find the serial number... 1,318,276 I did a check of the SRS records... bingo! DCM "Special Target" from 1930. Here's the SRS data line: 1318276SPT 030630DCM RIFLE SALES 1922-42 I called G&H this morning and we came to terms ($700. shipped) I said "happy birthday to me" and am now looking forward to the rifle being here by Christmas... The barrel is dated 6/29... no star gauge showing on the muzzle but it may have been removed with the polish & refinish by Jaeger (if that's who really did the work). I'm hoping to find a star gauge code under the stock fore end....and a definitive sign of Jaeger stock work. The Lyman 48S is a pre-war w/ matching numbers. I have a minty Lyman Alaskan on a Jaeger mount waiting to be matched upon it's arrival...
