I am new to the forum, and was looking for some help. I recently acquired a few rifles, among them a NM Winchester Garand and a 1903 Springfiled that looks like a possible NRA Sporter. I have some pictures on my computer, which I can e-mail, but I am not good at putting them onto the forum. I would appreciate any help, observations, or opinions that could be provided.
The Winchester: #1603694. It has the NM sights (front and rear), NM op rod (Remington--RA), glass-bedded stock, screws in handguard (visible when when barreled-action taken out of stock), and barrel marked SA 7789035, but without "NM" stamped near muzzle. The glass bed looks to be a yellowish color. I have read that most of these type 2 rifles were made from old receivers, but generally Springfields. I assume it is likely that someone could have built this rifle from the parts.
I know photos would help. You can send me a private message with your e-mail and I can send you pictures. If you can, I would have no problem with you posting the photos from my e-mail. I am sorry I am not too technologically inclined.
Thanks in advance for your consideration. Jack (Stuckus)
