Is a 30 caliber magazine clip?

Looks like an ejection port on a Mark I 1903 Springfield. If so, not a bubba, but the framework for the ever sought after, yet rarely available (and expensive) Pedersen (SP) device.

I suppose the M1903 Mk 1 Pedersen ejection port also can act as a gas vent hole in case of a case rupture in the chamber.

mls343 beat me to it. Looks like the ejection port on a 1903 Mark I.

The correct stock has a relief cut in it, as well, beneath the ejection port.

Lol I think most everyone who posted here knew it was a Mk I 03

I always forget the name of the Pedersen device. I DO however, know what one looks like. Plenty of pics on the net.

At least I will know what one looks like if I ever see it on the top of a junkpile in some old man's garage. I will then promptly remove my left nut and offer it up in exchange.

Figured I wouldn't fool anyone, but it was worth a try.

This one obviously went through the refurb process, but still has some older parts, like the milled floorplate, straight blued bolt and non-serrated trigger.

Wood is a bit beat-up, but the metal is fantastic.

EM knows what that thing is. He is just funnin' with you guys!!

Wow, I did not know about these. For anyone as clueless as me, here is a nice article on the subject. http://www.guns.com/2013/06/22/peris...dersen-device/

You're missing that $20,000 part. If you find one let me know I will give you $10 for it.

Well at least you have the rifle, so in case you ever find a Pederson device you'll be good to go!
