A few years back I saw this 1903A1 National Match rifle at an online auction. It had all the indicators of being a NM rifle (electro pencil s/n on the bolt, star gauge barrel, etc), so I ran the serial number through the Springfield Research Service and it came back as a legit National Match rifle. I've got a serious love affair with military match rifles and decided to throw in what I thought was a low-end offer on the NM rifle and another rifle, a 1903A4. I ended up getting both of them. Here are some pics of the NM rifle.

I got some documentation from the SRS on my rifle. In case anyone ever wondered what the SRS letter and Ordnance sales ticket look like.
