Question

aquired this rifle from my great uncle who went over seas in ww 2. I have this bolt action rifle and trying to figure out what make and model this might be.

Answer 1

A bolt-action US rifle would probably be a Springfield Model 1903. (They may have been used early in WW2 and would have been replaced by the clip-fed M1 semiautomatic.)
