the only thing i know is that it is a 30-06, peep sight, decent shape. but needs a cleaning.

Post by: bankwalker on September 01, 2009, 08:45:26 PM: well idk. i cant figure it out.

Post by: Mookie on September 01, 2009, 11:28:26 PM: No pick, but how cheap it dirt cheap? Bolt, lever, single shot? What is the name of the peep sight?

I am going to guess a sporterized American made Mauser with the fire bomb stamp, Springfield.

Anyone else with a guess?

Post by: bankwalker on September 02, 2009, 08:16:52 AM: i was thinking springfield aswell.

its a bolt action rifle, but the pic is very bad and cant tell much.

its under $300 though. i just hope it worth the drive to look at.

Post by: WDFW-SUX on September 02, 2009, 08:26:11 AM: what 243 do you have?
Title: Re: help me id this rifle
Post by: lazydrifter on September 02, 2009, 09:14:05 AM: Be careful. If it's a 03 springfield it may not be safe to shoot. I just went thru this. I had found a nice sporterized barreled action for $75.00. It WASN'T the 1903 A3. If it's the standard 03 with a serial number lower than 800000 the action is brittle. Not soft, brittle. They can't even safely be heat treated. And they can blow up.
