A set of Lyman scope mounts on a M1903 doesn't make it a sniper rifle, a rifle drilled for a commercially available T7 mount isn't presumed to be factory, an 1899B drilled for weaver mounts doesn't become a post 1950 manufacture.
If you are going to lump that rifle in with the Spiegel Rifles because of the holes, than lets agree that its drilled for a Belding and Mull scope mount, and that it was purchased for Unicorn hunting in Narnia. Buy me some rum and Ill type up the factory letter!
I love this post^^^^^^
YMMV
