Exceptional Arsenal 1905 Style
Conversion of a First Year Production U.S. Springfield
Armory Model 1903 Bolt Action Rifle, Serial Number 9662, with Tool Case - Serial no. 9662, 30-06 cal., 24 inch round bbl., blue finish, walnut stock. This Springfield Model 1903 rifle was manufactured in 1903 and would have been in the earliest
configuration with the 30-03 chamber and ramrod bayonet and, like most original 1903s, was overhauled to match the refined pattern introduced in 1905 that would see the Springfield 1903 through World War I and beyond. The critical adjustments were rechambering to the flatter shooting 30-06 cartridge and installing a lug for a conventional knife bayonet, as well as new sights configured for the new round. Blade front and folding ladder rear sights, with “SA/(flaming bomb)/05/A” on the barrel, fixed volley notch and bright highlights on the rear sight, and the early serifed font markings on the receiver ring. The straight wrist stock is fitted
with a single reinforcing bolt and the standard front barrel band with bayonet lug, marked “M” and a faint cartouche (possibly “1904”) on the left side, “A/P/62” on the underside, and “5” on the right just ahead of the smooth steel buttplate. Included with the rifle is a small hardwood case with a
1905 dated internal label identifying it as a toolkit for repairing the 1903 rifle “with Model of 1905 Sights, including Bayonet”; the case is empty. CONDITION: Very fine as arsenal refurbished/upgraded, with 90% plus original dark oil quenched case colors on the receiver and safety and 80% plus arsenal blue on the other components, with mild handling marks and scattered spotting/oxidization. The stock is also very fine, with a small crack in the
right side near the buttplate and minor handling marks overall. Mechanically excellent. Tool case is good, with mild scuffing and dents. Estimate: 3,000 - 4,500
