Looks like you alreadya nswered your own question - having the bullet stick in the rifling is a sure sign of them being too long. Bolt will not lock up, preventing full battery and hence, firing.

I have RIA 1903 SN# 354860 with 12/26 SA barrel in excellent condition. Boxed ICC/.RIA and WJS cartouche. Wood and metal in excellent condition. Can anyone tell me more, and it's value? Thanks.

No, you will be DQ'd if shooting a Garand with the "shims" to tighten the lock-up of the trigger guard. Of course, that only relaly matters if you finish in the top percentages (above the Gold Medal...

My Dane (from CMP) is a 75,xxx Serial number wiht a like new VAR Barrel (I don't remember the date). All new black re-park, but annealed receiver heal still visable. Great shooter. I was amazed...

I'm not a collector, but a shooter. I have an IBM carbine with undated IBM barrel (I don't have the serial # handy as I am at work, but all the parts seem to be marked with an M, which, I'm...

Bill Bentz makes replacement USMC 1903 front sight blades and Rear Sight Apertures. E-mail dcm450shtr@comcast.net

What you have is one of the Greek "returns" sold by the CMP. The numbers on the bolt were the last 4 digits of the SN - ike as on the stock. Of course, many bolts were mixed up. They were spaked...

Bill Bentz makes sets for the 03 that mirror the USMC wider sight blade and the rear sight aperture. I guess he would sell just the blade itself. His e-mail is: dcm450shtr@comcast.net

I have a National Match 1903 that has a B&K marked sling dated 1917 in very good to excellent (but used) condition. Can anyone tell me who made it, and if there is any value (say, compared to an RIA...

Great stuff for the 308. 39.5 AA2520 with 168 a tack driver at 100 - and reliably works the aciton of an M1A. No need to hammer your shoulder (42 gr. works very nice also). Cheaper than 4895 too....

Typo in my original posting...stock is cartouched NPM over FJA. Does that make it a Postal Meter stock? - or is it right for an IBM?

Thanks

Lets see how it shoots. No muzzle gauge, but M2 ball round from Ogive back stays exposed - about 5/16th, nice bright bore. Thanks

IBM SN 385389X, IBM Barrel (undated, stamped IBM Corp.), P proof further toward receiver. Stock with NBP over FJA cartouche on R side of stock and very faint crossed cannon about 2.5 incches forward...

Does anyone have any idea of when the prices will be posted, what those prices might be, and condition of the rifles? I had a Bavarian Rural Police that was a 44 Underwood in minty condition and,...
