If you look carefully a slot has been cut in the receiver for the Petersen device making this a Springfield 1903 Mark 1. The 20 1/4" barrel makes this a very handy rifle for woods use.

I have several rifles from the 30s and 40s too, but they're not really "old" yet...

I believe its a 95 pattern but purely a sporting variant, one of the ones made in Berlin and exported to Orange Free State. Its a 308 and I have been using it since 1984 at the age of 13. The barrel was a take off from a target rifle and I have put probably 8000 rounds through it. Still groups 10 shots under 1.5 inches at 100y!

My Dad used to use this when he was a commercial fisherman to shoot sharks when they were hooked and ready to be pulled into the boat! I use it on much more sedate game such as feral pigs and goats. Seems to work pretty well. Its a No1MkIII made at Lithgow in 1944.

Both rifles were my maternal Grandfather's. Karma and Trouble have busses, and there's always an empty seat.

Both will still shoot as good as my eyes will let me shoot iron sights. You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
