I am trying to figure out what kind of rifle this is it has the 1922 shotgun style stock (sporter) and a 28" heavy barrel .The stock has a circle "P" Proof and that is all there is on the stock.The serial number is 1417414 which makes it 1932 mfg.The bolt is marked "N.S." on the root.The bolt and extractor are polished. The bolt is not serialized . In Brophys book he mentions a "T" style BUT this is out of the serial range
according to him the "T" Rifles were made in 1930 about 100 were produced.
The barrel is a "T" style with the Browning frontsight a Redfield globe sight sits atop it. It's 1.295 at the breech and .865 at the muzzle weighs 11+ lbs.Front receiver bridge is drilled along with barrel 7.25 on center.Question is the front receiver edge beveled where it meets the barrel like a sporter action??
The rifle action & barrel are rust blued which looks original to the springfield armory finish at the time.The sight is a later 48 type not period to the rifle. The stock could be cut down slightly???What fool would do this.The safety is standard issue not reversed .
I am interested in purchasing this rifle but only if it is a match action with an uncut stock.The barrel looks correct with sight and barrel band (Enfield) type.
Bore is good with strong rifling but shadowy according to seller.Blue is 85% barrel action.
If anyone can point out whether indeed it is a match action or any other points re rifle please post.
Seller is asking $4000 need estimate from RKI on it's value , is it a collectable or put together rifle.
To my knowledge the serial# is not on the DCM sales list.
Thanks
