Normally, you could get a premium price for that bolt - the Greek "etching" does lower the worth/value somewhat.
Joe DeChristopher does have some good parts, but they don't come at a bargain!

Yeah, but he is local, I see him at all the local gun shows, and I have a high confidence that they are real, not reproduction
Mike: I have looked through all of my references and except to 1 sentence about the Hatcher Hole in Canfield, or references to USMC sniper rifles, I can't find any details about how the Marines modified/updated their 1903s and no pictures. Can you suggest a reference?Quote:

There have been lots of photos recently on the forums.
I believe Jouster has a "sticky" written by Dick Culver on USMC modifications to M1903s.
