Well, Simpsons has a nice 03a3 National Ordnance (ugh) for a mere $850 or a reactivated drill rifle 03a3 for $1595! It doesn,t seem to matter anymore if an 03a3 is drilled, sanded, rusted or butt...

Fantastic! Impressive all around-- including the machine shop!
That is awesome -- about as nice as you'll find. How's the bore?
I saw Micmacman's Western knife on a previous post and it reminded me that I had these in my collection of old stuff. The top one is a Western, middle is just marked made in USA. and the bottom is...
Nice looking dog too!

I posted this a few years back but all the pictures were lost when Milsurps crashed. I came across the pictures in my files so I’m reposting them for history's sake. The stock...
The incomplete H&H really caught my eye as it has a great untouched look. The screws and staking haven't been messed with and the stock finish looks totally original. The no scope and mount though is...
Aragorn, Great save and very nice work.
I forgot to mention Lutefisk is dried white fish (cod) preserved with lye. It is rinsed in water for several days to remove the lye before eating. Phew!
My in laws were Norwegian. I loved most of the Christmas food, but the Lutefisk was unbearable. Oofda! I tried to impress my father in law by eating it. He just laughed at me. He drank a lot of...
It's totally nuts. I have bought very few guns in the past 2-3 years because of these prices. I started concentrating on some old unfinished projects and enjoying what I have.
It's coming along nicely and you haven't over done it. Trigger guard really looks good.
I also know very little about swords but that cast aluminum handle really looks fake and definitely does not look "period correct". Ian-could you fill us in on the other things you see that are...
I really like it. So many were cut down, it's nice to see one full length and with the date cartouche intact.
Bill, check out these links- It looks like it is for an 1895 Winchester:

Ghost07, I think you are right about the scope. I did a little research online and it seems to be a legit M73b1 (Type III). The markings are a little different than the earlier M73b1's and do not...
Hey Ghost07 -- Thanks for posting the pictures. I agree with Chuck. The receiver markings look genuine. We have seen some that were very crudely faked. Salt Flat
Hi Ghost07, Can you show us a picture of the "U.S. REMINGTON and MODEL 03-A3" markings?
Also a picture of the serial number.
Also note that they will fade if exposed to light for very long.
Can you rotate the bolt handle upward?
Sometimes picking up those spare parts really pays off. Excellent work all the way around . Salt Flat
I agree with Daan Kemp and the others. It's well worth replacing the firing pin and installing a liner. I've done a few 1890 Winchesters like this. It's quite satisfying to save these.
Beautiful. Classic lines, fine engraving and stock work.
Good catch, That's definitely a 1903 band. Also I would second martin08 --- the cutoff area looks suspicious. Salt Flat
Not too many people here like the quality of the repro scopes. Really interesting though, that you have the original shipping box and provenance. The No4 Mk1 (T) folks here will be on this by...
