Rock Island Arsenal NRA Match Custom Sporting Rifle .30-06 Springfield
Description: This rifle started life in 1918 as a Rock Island Arsenal M1903. Sometime between 1924 and 1938 it was modified into one of the rare NRA Match rifles. Later still, it was rebuilt into a Sedgley-esq style target rifle. This involved re-bluing the metal, replacing the original military style stock with a pistol grip target stock, the installation of a Lyman Model 48 rear peep sight and hooded front sight. Unfortunately, when the work was done, the replacement stock chosen was not fitted with recoil bolts and at some point a large chip of wood was lost behind the receiver in front of the wrist. A crack was also formed over time running top to bottom on the inside of the stock behind the receiver. The bore in good shape with well-defined rifling, but there is some micro pitting near the muzzle although it is barely visible. In any case, the rifle should still shoot very well with jacketed ammo. Bluing has worn with time, and has turned to a patina in some spots, though the barrel retains most of its finish. During the re-bluing process, the original markings were polished out, though the letters “R” and “A”, and the number “8” are still visible. The position of index mark (the groove in the surface of the barrel where it meets the receiver) suggests the barrel has been removed at least once, probably for the re-bluing. The Lyman 48 is rather special considering it is made out of true American steel. Current Lyman production sights use cheaper and less durable aluminum. NRA Match Rifles were some of the best shooting rifles of their time, and it would be interesting to see this one restocked back to original configuration, whilst retaining the superior Lyman sights of course, as the original ’03 sights were difficult for most shooter’s to utilize correctly. This is why later versions like the ‘03A3 were equipped with rear mounted peep sights.
