Beautiful....Those USGI 1903A3's are very accurate....I have one that will do 2" or better groups at 100 all day long...Just make sure you have 4-7 pounds of upward pressure on the stock tip &...
Ray....DO NOT remove the forward most screw...If loosened, there is a small rectangular plate under it that will spin & cut the crosshairs....Follow Chucks directions, and just SLIGHTlY loosen the...
First of all, welcome.....I have the same rifle, but a 1917 version....I would look for the serial number to be matching on all large parts like the bolt, receiver, barrel shank, front bayonet stud,...
Price/value involves the power of the scope as well.....If it's a much higher power scope, say 24 or higher, the price almost doubles...I sold a big 24 power for twice what i thought I'd get...20...

Dang.....I just saw a nice, original SPG stock at a recent show...It was on a mixmaster and had a faint catouche, but was all there....knew there was something about this cartouche, but I never...
Thats what the readings where...on my Stone Axe guage...Actually, the Stone Axe guage I have only went to 8, and the barrel's throat went way past that...So it was a conservative 9......and yes, the...
Converting it to shoot 22 LR will be a big dissapointment......Due to the .224" bore on your rifle and the .222/.223" diameter of the 22LR.....Not to mention the twist rate is supposed to be...
I'm looking for a Remington 1903A3 stock with pins (not crossbolts)..also no RA stamp, but needs a clear FJA , crossed cannons & a circle P on wrist... If yours fits this description, and you want...
I had a K-Hornet, built on a 1922 M2 Springfield trainer rifle...VERY accurate...Longest kill on a NY dairy woodchuck was 214 yds. (measured w/ rangefinder)
Very easy to reload and a great...
I have to agree with DevilDog.....I have first-hand experience with a NM Garand barrel I once had...It had a throat erosion of an easy 9....But a muzzle of 1. This was off a "Club Gun", that was shot...
There's a great website called Vishooters. Admittedly, I have been having trouble getting to it lately, but if you google it, you should get there....It will give serial # dates, proper original...
Nice old Sporter...Most likely a 1950's-era conversion...Probably a Bishop or Fajen stock....(might be marked on buttplate)...As to value, the collector aspect has been greatly reduced, but it sounds...

Jim, you're right about the M8 coming into the picture mid-war..:thup:.....I thought differently, due to the small knobs & data plate of this Ebay scope......but I was mistaken........In fact, here's...
Heres what looks to be an earlier, pre-war scope...Without the large, sniper knobs yours has...It went for $338, I believe.....I would say closer to the $450 mark on yours...Throw a set of parked...
