Description Update 05/30/2024: Two small cracks forming at toe of buttstock
serial #46905, 22 Winchester Auto, 20” barrel with a bright fine bore showing a shallow ring about an inch back from the muzzle and otherwise crisp rifling. The barrel of this 1910-made rifle retains about 95% original blue showing some scattered spots of silvering from light handling marks and minor thinning while the action retains about 85% original bright blue showing some scattered minor flaking, a few small dings and the bottom metal toning to a smooth gray patina. The nosecap and buttplate retain some generous bright blue and the bolt shows lovely brilliant fire blue. This rifle is equipped with some wonderful period hardware including a William Malcolm riflescope serial #3753 complete with fine windage and elevation adjustable mounts, along with a Lyman No. 45 receiver sight and Marble’s 2S ivory bead front sight; the rear dovetail has a Marble’s blank. The scope and its mounts retain about 95% original blue showing some mild edge wear and one tiny ding along the body. The scope is probably 4X or so and the optics are somewhat dirty and strangely the reticle has been lost to the years but the original screw-in covers are present. The smooth walnut stocks remain in very fine condition with nice raised grain and oil finish showing a thin 1” crack behind the upper tang and some minor handling marks. This is a very handsomely appointed Winchester Model 1903. (13B11229-108) {C&R} (1200/1800)

GUIDELINES FOR FIREARM PURCHASES
• All Federal, State and Local firearms laws will be observed. FFL holders may take possession of any firearm on day of sale when they present a signed copy of their Federal Firearms License. New Hampshire residents over the age of 21 may take possession of any firearm on day of sale providing the proper paperwork is filled out and the transfer has been approved either through the NH State Police or the FBI NICS System. While most NICS and State approvals are immediate, approvals could take up to 3 days. Most non-residents may take possession of long guns on day of sale after completing the proper forms and successfully completing a NICS check; modern handguns will need to be shipped to an FFL holder in the buyer's home state. Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping charges and all items must be paid for on day of sale. Bidders should be familiar with their local and state laws as Amoskeag Auction Co., Inc. will not be responsible for any parties purchasing items which may not be possessed in, or shipped, to their state of residence.
