    Springfield 1903

    I may be posting in the wrong area, but the site is a bit overwhelming and I wasn't sure where else to post.
    I have a Springfield 1903- 30-06 with serial # 314XXXX.
    I am attempting to upload some photos now, but am looking to learn more about the gun, especially the value.
    If anyone can help, I would appreciate it greatly.
    Thanks.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    To learn more about about how to handle pics, please read this thread in the Q&A - Help Forums, which also appears as a "sticky" thread at the top of every forum on the site.

    How do I upload pictures to my posts for storage on milsurps.com? (click here)

    In the case of pics stored in our member's Photo Gallery, all you have to do is click on the pic in the album and you'll see an area at the bottom where the cu-n-paste code is created for you, so you can simply use it within any post.

    If you still have problems, email them to me at badger@milsurps.com and I'll resize them for you, then post them in the thread under your name

    Regards,
    Doug

    Ok, here is the best I could do. My photo was too large, so I had to go to photobucket. Working on more photos. Thanks.

    Was also able to upload into my gallery if that helps. Not the most savvy on forums.

    I don't think that single photo (very dark) is going to help much ...

    As I said in my earlier post, if you email me all your pics, I'll re-size them and see what I can do to make them more legible....

    Regards,
    Doug

    You must have some good eyes Chuck!

    Per the serial #, it is a Remington M1903.

    From the one photo, I can't tell if the stock is pre-war, or not.

    Looks like a nice rifle. How is the bore?

    Mike

    Shoots like a dream. I got it sighted in within 12 rounds. At 100 yrds, I'm grouping within inches. I will again try to email photos over to Doug and see it he can get more posted.
