Out of the box, shoots great. Letterkenny rebuild, 1964 LEAD. Never adjusted sights and I hit steel gong at 100 yds with first shot :D. Action is smooth and clip loads perfectly--even latches quickly...

Sorry this took so long!

The range is in NC just next to the SC border. It is difficult enough to find shooting ranges outdoor where I live in the Myrtle Beach area. It is called the Lowcountry Preserve. Nice wide open area...

Awesome gents! Maybe I will see you all at the range one day. Wouldn't it be nice to see 4 '03s lined up firing squad style? I may have the golf part covered TDH, I am a PGA Professional disguised as...

Thank you for the help. I have a real gun weighted air rifle that should mimic shooting the '03. I will give that a try. I guess the best way to go about it is to become a student of the form. Funny...

Sorry for the late reply y'all--I have been extremely busy the past 7 months with work. I appreciate all of your contributions to this post. With regards to my shooting form I would love to improve....

That's good to hear! I have heard that the CMP has wonderful customer service and takes great care with the rifles they build. I am glad they don't rush through the process even though the wait is 4...

Thank you all for the awesome input! I am very interested in this rifle--It seems that you can never know enough history about it. Everyone's M1 has a different past which adds to the mystique of...

Thank you Bob! That is comforting to hear. I wasn't sure if I was missing anything or having the wrong form. I have applied the grease, cleaned and oiled the barrel today, and also oiled all of the...

UPDATE: I tried it with a full en bloc. Put the 5 dummy rounds in the top and three real ones on bottom. Loaded perfectly fine. Maybe its something to do with dummy rounds being an odd size or the...

I am self taught but I do not have much meat for the gun to sit in given my "stick-figure" frame. I had a dead shoulder after 120 rounds!

Hi Everyone!

I just received an M1 Garand from the CMP yesterday. MY FIRST ONE!!--4-month wait was worth it! It is a 1965 LEAD rebuild with all SA parts. The barrel is crisp and clean and the...

Hey everyone!

Update on the gun.

I was at a gun show recently and ran into an avid M1903 and A3 collector who determined that my rifle is 95% original. The only incorrect piece was the...

Very true. Every rifle has its own story which adds to its mystique.

Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate your advice. Just before reading seeing your post, I saw an article about M1903A3's being used in the Greek civil war against communists in the late 1940's....

Ok, I understand. That makes sense since some of the parts can run $20 a piece. I have what appears to be all Remington stamped parts except for the bolt. I'm not sure what the "8" means on the bolt,...

Thank you for the responses! Given that it is a rebuild, would it be worth investing more in it to purchase correct parts for it--such as a blued bolt and A3 follower--or would I be spending too much...

Sorry, I should probably show you pictures of the entire gun too!

Hello!

First off, I want to thank you all for putting in the effort to create a knowledgable resource for military surplus gun owners. I have been reading your posts over the past few months and...
