Man, am I glad I joined this group. It is for sure a Model 1896. I still wasn't sure, but my wife says it is definitely a 6. It has the index mark on the receiver, but no corresponding mark on the barrel. Also I can't see a P on the barrel, though the barrel has been buffed some. The receiver has not been buffed. Next to the index mark there is something that might be a P, but if so, it was struck worse than the Model number. :)
So maybe it is a 1903 barrel. Anyhow, I am infinitely wiser about this rifle than I was yesterday. Thanks again to all of you for the great information and great photos. Newt |
