You can find sporterized '03' stocks all over the internet, CHEAP. Buy one and cut off the tail end and "attach" to this this stock. So you lose the butt trap holes. No biggee. I personally would try it or have it done. Have you priced nice looking C stocks lately?Quote:

Need sunglasses it is so bright in there!! :cool:

I think this one has a lot of potential. If it is a good shooter, I would like to try make a faux 1941A1 Marine sniper out of it. The unertl blocks are already on it.
I'd go for it Calfed! :thup:
Very nice Steve. It would be a good candidate for the sniper conversion. Are you going to put some rounds through it this Sat?
Thanks, guys.
I got to the range last week and fired a few through my "out on a limb" rifle. I didn't want to waste much ammo, because I had to use the threaded hole that the aperture screws into as the rear "aperture". I tried to use a couple of my other apertures and they either wouldn't screw in far enough or were too large to operate the bolt with.
Fired a few @ 50 yards to make sure the windage on the sights was good...

Moved the target back to 100 and got this...

Without an aperture this was more of a Ghost ring sight than a target sight. I'm pretty sure that the flyers that went high were my fault. I usually do fine with the windage using aperture sights, but have some trouble reproducing the elevation aim from shot to shot.
Matt (Rugersworld) and I shot it after the monthly Military Silhouette match at the Sac Valley Shooting Center on Saturday and both agree this one has potential
I finally got an aperture for the Redfield sight that would fit and allow the bolt to operate.
My son and I went to the Lincoln, CA range for the afternoon and I had him give the "Rockland 1903" a try ...
First he shot it at 50 yards, just to see if it was centered and on paper. His first 5 @ 50

Since it was hitting pretty good at 50, he tried the rifle at 100 yards.

I tried it at 100 yards, but wasn't able to keep up with my son.

We were shooting the last of some mid-60's LC match ammo that a friend gave me.
