page 214 of “The Springfield 1903 Rifles” by Lt. Col. William S. Brophy. These rifles were discontinued only because the Ordnance Department received criticism for competing with commercial enterprises in
the sporting rifle industry, in which these were considered the finest American-made sporting rifles of the time. Blade front sight and Lyman micrometer peep rear sight (absent peep insert), “S A/(flaming
bomb)/9-30” marked barrel with “*” star gauge marked muzzle, “NS” (nickel steel) marked bolt with electro-stenciled matching serial number.
