Just for fun, can anyone tell me what these two rifles have in common? Well, besides the obvious that they are both Springfields, although one is a 1922 and the other an 03. I think this will be an easy one for some on this forum. B. Steele and the gaseous flyer are not eligible to play. grin

Hi Dave,
The 1922 is an M1 and they have a headless firing pin. The 03 has a modified firing mechanism, but I guess I am not sure if it is a Sedgley or not. But no that is not the answer. My guess is it was done by a metal smith from the same state as the stockmaker was from. Think North Dave.

I'll pull it apart tonight and check it out.

Both have headless firing pins. The 1903 has a reversed safety but that does not answer the question.

Bolt knob checkering by Emil Koshollek?


The top rifle made for Art Vinje by Alvin Linden is my absolute favorite!

Not exactly, but you are thinking in the right direction.

Yes and yes. But how do we know about the rifle?
