Somebody stuck it in a 1922 stock and added the rear sight after war service. I'm sure it could be "parted out" for more than $400. Sad that the action was parked (poorly) or it could serve as a nice basis for a pre WWI clone 1903. Rifles made in 13' were fitted and finished to a standard of a fine G&H sporting rifle. Like this one from 1910.

Although the bore is pristine as well, I do know that the gun was shot some in the '50's. I can discuss most modern firearms all day but am at a loss when it comes to 1903's and their variations. I am truly ignorant. I am hoping that someone appreciates the rifle and its history. Thanks again for your insight. Regards, Henry

For decades I had a $1000 challange out there to anyone who could produce a low number 03, with correct headspace and shot with modern ammo, that "blew up". Never had to pay. Good luck with your sale. best, Larry

I have had a couple of Sedgley rifles that were made with low number actions, never had any problems with either rifle. I've never heard of a Sedgley rifle blowing up.

That was what I was always told. I have had a couple of Sedgley rifles that were made with low number actions, never had any problems with either rifle. I've never heard of a Sedgley rifle blowing up. 8x57s were one of the causes and almost all can be traced to the nut behind the bolt. I collected Sedgleys for decades, had 60+ once. All Sedgleys were built with low number actions with the govt serial # eradicated and a new one put in the bolt sear raceway. Exceptions were actions supplied by the owner. One of mine was a 9.3x62 with a 4 digit action serial #. It never blew up in several trips to Africa. Now I have four deluxe models left: a short action Hornet (one of three documented short actions) a 22-06 probably 1 of 1 a 6.5x55 probably 1 of 1 a 400 Whelen with the correct G&H chamber. Never seen another They all get hunted, I hate safe queens. OP's rifle has more value as parts than as a whole and as it was built from parts taking it apart is no sin. best, Larry
