Thanks and I don't plan on using anything on it except oil and never have or had to. I have always tried to keep them oiled, especially since I don't take my guns out often.

thanks for acknowledging the finish on the rifle, it actually looks better in person, there still is some brown stuff in some of the corners is that maybe some kind of old grease? What is safe to...

Thanks Jim for chiming in it means a lot and you are right, the end value would be worth it. I may hold on for a while and keep searching, I am afraid of also buying a stock that isn't legit and...

thanks for this tip I may just do it.

HAHA! Favorite son..........you mean the good son?! I was thinking of getting a new unissued stock for $200 with no markings as the one now is worthless, but also wonder if the stocks from Numrich...

thanks and I guess I am confused, as isn't the gun more valuable the way it is in a used state? The other thing was I was told the bolt has been rebuilt due to it being parkerized as apparently the...

Thanks Jim and i was wondering about the stock as it appears someone really did a poorly sanding job, i will grab the C stock as i was close already to doing it and saying close enough.

Nope don't even know where it went, guessing my father threw it out as I had hard gun case. My father wasn't into collecting and is why the stock is sporterized, he loved the gun because it was...

so I thought I should add a little more history of this gun, from what i understand from my father who has now passed, he was issued this while being an officer in the USMC. When he left he told me...

Oh I thought the rebuilds were blued or black when rebuilt on a green parkerized gun? I guess I need to do more research, I always thought a green parkerized gun had all metal match if was original....

thx for the links it will come in handy and for the time to respond. A quality gun stock is hard to find.

I don't believe the barrel is cut as it looks original to me anyway I will post a picture of the end, I know my father owned the gun since leaving the Marines in the 50's and i know for sure he never...

Thanks bigduke6, and especially for the pointer on the scope, and i have just posted on the 1903 forum, didn't realize they were related for sure! Still learning and from what i have researched they...

My father was in the Marines and gave me a Remmington 03A3 and it has parkerized metal on everything, it has the original scope mount but a Redfield 4x scope and the stock has been cut, so missing...

thx, it may not be chromed its just extremely shiny, i mentioned it to someone and they said it was probably chromed, i have yet to have the gun inspected. I think I understand a little more now.

thx gsimmons

So by rings you mean rings on scope? Thanks a lot by the way I appreciate your thoughts greatly. My Dad has since passed and so I can't ask him for help. I don't know if he cut down the stock or it...

thanks for your help Jim, I have posted in the WTB section.

Thanks for the reply, WTB? I am new here and have no idea, but could guess, what to buy? I tried to research myself and look for stock, but want to make sure do it right, biggest question, is it...
