I picked this up at a local shop for $255.00. For that price I can afford to sink some time and...
This made me go look at the sights on mine last night. Sure enough the front sight has been sharpened by a previous owner. I have never seen what the profile was supposed to look like but here is...

You have a great collection and great commitment to it.
JR
I had not known they had a different front sight. I will have to look at mine to see. Did any other non original parts get subbed when these were rebarreled to 30-06 or 7.62?

I may switch to pipe dope for my "factory white letters". I do like the slightly yellowed look.
A GI bolt would have to be marked with drawing # and maker. Ther would also be a big round punch mark on the other end.

They do take a little finesse but make a great low profile mount.

I’m going to build one of these one day. I have the 7.62 Italian kit from Sarco on the shelf.

I ordered a 1903 and 1903A3 stripped reciever via snail mail on the 29th. I'll post them if I got lucky.
JR
I saw that over at the files. I'm blocked from that sight at work so I have not been tracking it. It will be intereseting to see how the units perform en masse.
JR
Thanks for the info Johnny. Now that I have it back to some form of normal I can just let it wear in. I am still interested in knowing any accuracy mods the IDF did, if any.
This one had the...
I finally got this thing repainted over the summer.

What about the CMP "Woodless Danes"? That was a great deal 5 or so years...
Sarco is Sarco but I have never heard that the 2 groove 1903-A3 barrels they sell are anything but GI.
I have one from Sarco and one I picked up at gunshow ( that may be from Sarco too for all I...
Yes. This is an awesome photo tutorial.
Whats next? How about a trigger job?

I have is finally stripped the crinkle paint off my Israeli Sniper stock.
There are a some markings that were covered by the black goop. One is on the cheek piece and the other seems like a serial...
Lots of good info in this thread. Specifically that the tabs on the covers would be routinely removed when eventually damaged. I'll bet a lot of people did not know that.
Back to the mount...

Thanks for your in post. Because I have some of this kit I am interested in any other observations you have about working with this equipment and the Israeli modified rifles in general. ...
Hmmmm.
Perhaps what I am calling an "Enfield mount" is just an Enfield dustcover and the variations of the final assembly into a a S.U.I.T. mount happened at different times from different...
I have some pics of two S.U.I.T. top covers. There are some slight variations I always wondered about too.

I had never heard there was a G3 mount. Any pictures of that floating around?
JR
For lack of pictures I’ll post some of mine.
This is a Mark 1 I got from the CMP 4 or 5 years ago. I don’t believe it has the correct trigger or cut off parts. The stock is Mark 1 and is marked...
G3 kits are not particularly rare in the US. They are still available today at the retail level for $500-600.
I'll bet that HK made a lot of the components. These differ in the shape of the...

Here's the cross section in the HK G3 manual. It looks like the block is right up there at the top.
