I'm thinking you two are right. I'm using this one for a static display so I think I'll just leave it. It's not very noticeable from the side. Trying to find another one. Boy have these things taken...

120318 I'll try to get a better shot after I get a battery for my camera charged.

I have a M1905 bayonet that has a blade with a "kink" in it. anyone have any luck straightening one?

Great idea. Thanks. Why didn't I think of that.

Where can I get some that only attach to the left side of the action. The one I have goes through both sides and is ether not tight enough and keeps coming loose or is too tight and binds the bolt.

I found one at SARCO. I have never ordered anything from them and don't even think of them when I'm looking for parts mostly because I don' think I've ever read anything good about them. We'll see...

I lost it I have no idea where it went. I thought I put it in one of those magnetic parts dishes but apparently I didn't. I tried to get one from all my normal places for parts but no luck. Any one...

Here I have an early 1903 sitting in a good Remington 1903a3 stock and in my safe sits a Remington 1903a3 in a CMP aftermarket stock. hmmmmm

Looks like the part might have been slightly crushed. It's pretty beat up so I'm going to get another and see what transpires.

Yes. It's just touching the barrel at the front top.

Am I right in assuming that the end cap on a 1903 is not supposed to contact the barrel?

More pictures. The stock that it has on it is an a3 stock so I didn't bother taking pictures of it. I guess the original is long gone.

For some reason I was reading the serial number as 1million 549 thousand in stead of 1 hundred 54 thousand 9 hundred. So this is one of the don't shooters lol. It really sucks getting old.

12-17 on the barrel

In the process of cleaning cosmoline. I'll get some better pictures tomorrow.

1941 maybe?

I'll probably just pull it apart and reuse the brass and projectiles. It's only 50 rounds and it only cost me $15 so it's no big deal I just wanted to make sure.

Thanks. That's kind of what I thought but I didn't know for sure.

I picked up few rounds of 1942 vintage Frankfort Arsenal M2 Ball ammo. Would it be corrosive?

My fault. I posted a link to it in another thread for the pictures.

I have one that went through Fulton and was sold to some one in Ottawa who's name is engraved on the stock disk. I tried tracing it that way but my privet eye abilities leave a lot to be desired.

The front sight base on my 1903a3 is clocked ever so slightly to the right. I was wondering why I had to adjust the rear sight so far to the right. Could a gunsmith fix this by turning the barrel or...

There was someone who was working on dating these but I can't remember who. Does anyone know about this and if they made any headway?

No one I know here in Maine that owns guns owns just one and most of the people I know own guns. The average I would say is about 3-4. My father who absolutely hated guns we found after he died owned...

Ya that's the one :D . That's why I have them checked out by some one who knows what they're looking at.
