Anyone know anything about the lettering in the barrel channel?
Thanks!
Any idea on the lettering in the barrel channel?
I went ahead and removed the sporter from the stock. Not what I expected

Thanks, Erik.
The number on the bolt does match the serial number.
Thanks, Erik. I'll look inside the stock after the 10 day "cooling off" period.
The Springfield Sporter came in. Ran by my FFL holder to take a quick look.
The stock and metal are in fabulous shape. No "P" stamped on the pistol grip or any other cartouches that I could find. ...
Thanks, Chuck.
Did the repro stocks have the reinforcing bolts and lack the relief for the magazine cut off lever?
Thanks guys.
So, m1903rifle, do you think this is an original stock?
I sure did. Conrats to you. Your new rifle looked pretty nice.
I saw this Springfield Sporter and wondered about the stock. I confirmed the Serial number is a SS receiver and the barrel has the star gauge. But the stock has no cut out for mag cut off. Looks like...
Wow! That is a looker!
From what I've learned, prior to Ben Comfort using a rifle chambered in 300 H&H magnum, most bull guns were chambered in 30.06 (like my rifle) and based on a 1903 Springfield action.
I mounted a...
I've come to believe that this rifle was built as a Wimbledon style "bull gun". I found this article about a Wimbledon "Bull Gun" made by Griffin and Howe for Ben Comfort, who won the 1935 Wimbledon...
I heard back from Bob Beach, the now-retired historian for Griffin and Howe...

You could be right. A poster on another forum advised that the relief cut for the sight looked like it had originally been done for a Vaver sight. I checked the Vaver sight for the 1903 and it looks...
Finally got in and picked up my rifle.
I couldn't find any more markings on it, other than this. Under one of the scope blocks I found "No 1x27". The X digit was drilled through for the scope...
I tried using Google Chrome instead of Firefox and can now see the pictures...thanks!
For some reason, I can't see any of the pictures that I posted. In fact, I can't see any pictures that anyone else posted.
I recently glommed this rifle at an auction and have been scouring the internet for any information about it with almost almost no luck.
The auction pics and description...

Anyone have a source for the large thumb screw that secures the rear sight on the Finnish Lion target rifle?
I finally got a chance to compare the FM23-36 to my CG63 Swedish target rifle

It is clear that the barrel profile on the FM23...
