Are these pictures any better?
Bolt is an early low number bolt. "W" stamp on follower is a M1917 Winchester part. The rifle went through some minor inspection/rebuild then placed into reserve. Nice keeper.
The rifle is a shooter as well as a keepsake. And the price was right FREE. I just have to pay for the ammo. I will be stripping it down, there is still some Cosmoline I have to clean out of it. My uncle says that he only put about 50 rounds through since he bought it in the late 50's.
The price was right! :)
Add to the rifle, earlier my uncle had given me 2500 once fired Milsurp 30-06 cases to clean up and reload. After going through all of them I ended up with 2100 useable cases. That is what I have been shooting in both my 30-06's (the '03 included.) I figured it out to about $60 per hundred, vice over $100 for the same number of Factory 150gr BTSP's.
That's why I reload, it's invariably cheaper. If you take time and shop hard for components, it can be downright inexpensive.Quote:

I reload 9mm, 40s&w, 45acp, 30carbine, and 30-06, I can reload(but don't yet) 270 and 38. I enjoy my shooting activities tremendously, While a relaxation sport in itself, my reloading is relaxation therapy for me.
This '03 is the second milsurp weapon I have owned. My first was a Singer Arms 1911 Stamped U.S. Navy (acquired through a purchase from the OLD DMRO in San Diego) It was stolen from my house in the mid '70s. I am looking at 2 future additions to my Milsurp collection of an M1 Carbine and an M1 Garand both which my uncle purchased through the NRA. He paid $45 dollars for the Carbine and $100 for the Garand.
I have been mostly lurking in previous threads as I find a wealth of information in them. Also a bunch of interesting stories. In that, I want to thank you all for having me aboard, between this forum and the other one I belong to I am both learning and being entertained with something I enjoy.
Actually the Butt Plate is Stamped on the inner surface with Remington "R" so may be original to the rifle, though that is an assumption of course.Quote:
