Dad said it came with two barrels, a .32, and a .22. Both rimfire. Stevens Marksman. Dad SBR'd it, and suppressed, (grandpa owned a machine shop)it. Dad got spooked shortly after getting married, and ditched the suppressed barrel. Kept the SBR'd .22 barrel.
I'd like to re-do it in .17HMR, and .22LR. With two new barrels.

I don't have any guns so I asked my neighbor if I could photograph his for my participation in this thread.

Looks like a sporterized 03 Springfield with maybe a Lyman reciever sight.
Close enough?

You got the "action" correct, and it is sporterized in that it is a custom ordered Winchester Sniper Rifle Type 2 offered by Winchester and made to customer specifications during the early to mid-1920s. there are less than five known to exist. Also, you pegged the type rear sight too, in that it is a Lyman.

Excellent thought. The barrel, however, is somewhat like the typical heavy barrel that Winchester sold separately to customers, many of which were put on Springfield actioned target guns, but this barrel measures 1 and 1/4 inch at the breech receiver whereas the typical heavy barrel was normally 1 and 1/8th of and inch diameter at this point.

That looks like a going-out-of-business sale at the Cabela's gun museum!
I shudder to think of the size of boat that sunk when you lost all of them!
Sweet mother of God, mark.

I searched google for 'marks boat'.
Bought this for $12.50 at a police auction in 1987. Somebody had drilled a hole through the breech block rendering it inoperable and I guess making it a toy for the grandkid. Some dolt apparently robbed a liquor store with it, though. Found a breech block for $5 at a show, bought a $3 rear sight from Numrich, made a front blade and refinished the wood and metal myself. Total investment about $22. Shoots 1/2" groups at 25 yards.
Bought this around 1980 to help out a friend strapped for cash. In 1986 it was stolen along with all my other guns. LAPD called me in 2003 and said they had recovered it. After 17 years it came home.
Saw this on consignment in a shop around 1974 at $1,300. May as well have been a million. Showed up in same shop around 1979 at $1,900. This time I scraped up the cash and bought it. Stolen with the rest in 1986, cops in another city recovered it when some moron was shopping it around a show asking $200 and nobody would touch it. Someone called the cops on him. BTW- Originally sold in 1910 to Ian Fleming's father in law. Fleming created James Bond in his novels. Closest I come to a celebrity gun.
My very first gun was a Remington Model 581 22 rifle purchased new in 1967 for $49. Lost in 1986, I found another owned by a deceased gunsmith who had done about $2,000 worth of custom work on it. Doesn't look it at first glance, but it's a highly modified gun.
? otherwise, you'll find an excuse.

Mark,

The collection has been a work in progress for about thirty years, but these days I am only interested in collecting additional M1 Garands.
