Title: Re: 1895 Question

Does the front sight look like a M1903 Springfield?

Your sn is in the 96c range in Mr. Mallory's book.  However.  However many things could have happened to it between from the moment it was originally built in FY1895.  It could have been though Inspect and Repair As Nessesary (IRAN) at the Arsenal or some long gone gunsmith got to it or Ol' Bubba got to it.

Run a rod down on the closed bolt face.  Should be 22 inches.  But that is not a guarantee.  If it has a m1903 front chances are it is a cut down rifle.

Pictures sees all, tells all.
