• Additional information

This is The M1903 Springfield Rifle and Its Variations by Joe Poyer, edited by Ed Furler, Jr., published by North Cape Publications, Inc. of Tustin, California. Softcover, copyright 2001. ISBN 1-882391-30-6.

Part of North Cape’s For Collectors Only series, which takes a different approach from most gun books: rather than a general history, each volume works through the rifle part by part, organized by serial number range, describing the markings, codes, finishes and running changes for each component. That makes it a reference you use with a rifle in front of you — the kind of book that answers whether a given bolt or sight belongs on a given serial number.

Coverage includes: the original Model of 1903 and its first and second alterations, the rod bayonet alteration, the Mk. I, the M1903A1, and the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice rifles. Target and competition variants are covered at length, among them National Match, Style B, Style T, the National Match Special and the International Match rifles, along with the .30 caliber NRA Sporter. There is a substantial section on the .22 caliber gallery practice rifles, including the Hoffer-Thompson, the M1922 and the Model 1924 International Match rifle. Illustrated throughout with line drawings and photographs.

Included: One softcover book, the copy pictured.
