Not necessarily -unsafe, but for collectors, worth alot more if there were never messed up in a pile of a hundreds at an arsenal. There could be a headspace issue, but never mind 'a compitent gunsmith' they either don't have the headspace gauges anyway, or it will be there forever collecting his dust. They were all checked when imported, the bolt was probably swapped 50 or more years ago. fire one bullet, if the empty doesn't extract, or the case comes out cracked or bloated, then bring it to someone. Otherwise keep shooting. If it is the long barrel, it won't kick worth talking about. Loud yeah. The ammo is all 'corrosive primer', so you need to clean it well every day you shoot it, don't let is stay dirty even a few days in summer. Mine was made in Springfield mass, in 1917, by 'New England Westinghouse'. the earliest you may see is 1894 or so, but unless you read cerilic... some are Remington, Swiss, a few countries made them. Some national guard units had them in the 20's but the army didn't want to supply 2 calibers. The last were made in China and I think Poland in the late 50's/ early 60's. Had to have something good about it to last that long.

George bought his Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00. There is no known history regarding its origins or what service it had done, but the following work was undertaken by Harold alone to bring it up to show standard.
