Just joined today. Interested in learning about Browning 1919A4.
Good evening, everyone. I'm new to the forum, and I am looking for a new 1903A3 Type C stock to replace one that has been damaged. I'd like it to be fully inlet ("drop-in"), and require minimal wood removal and finishing to replicate the original, true Type C stock size, lines and contours. Thank you in advance for any assistance and recommendations that you are able to provide.
How badly damaged is the original. It’s always better to repair the original stock then to replace it. However you can buy then from esarco.com Or Gun Parts Corp Aka Numrich armsQuote:

Hello,
I have joined this forum because I am seeking further information regarding a number of M16A1 that are currently in use by the Vietnam Peoples Army. I have a list of serial numbers and I would appreciate any assistance in finding out some more about the rifles. I will post the numbers and photos of the lower receivers in a future thread.
Thank you

I have been interested in milsurps for a lifetime, but have only begun to collect them in earnest over the past couple of years (space being the primary problem previously). I now have a bit of room and am slowly growing out a collection of shooters primarily.
So far-
US Rifles:
-Remington 1903A3 (12/42 receiver and barrel) - mostly correct, re-arsenaled, in a scant stock (had some issues and cracks I corrected, then glass bedded).
-Danish VAR Garand (1943 SA Receiver), mostly Beretta large assemblies, SA small parts. OpRod is out to Columbus Machine to rebuild at present.
-Late (1955) post war SA Greek Cavalry Garand (return presumably through CMP) in mint condition and dark Greek parkerization. OpRod is HRA, the rest is 100% correct SA.
-1943 Inland Carbine, Blue Sky Return. Light gray park consistent with Blue Sky early returns. Mix-master of late M1/M2 parts. Functions darn near flawlessly and is a wonderful shooter.
-1873 model, 1889 production SA Trapdoor Carbine. All original and correct. I don't shoot it much, but with the trapdoor specific loads it isn't too unpleasant....lol.
British Rifles:
-Lithgow 1916 SMLE, 7/1945 rebuild. Former Cadet Rifle (previous owner removed yellow paint at muzzle). All parts match ser. # (stock, front cap, bolt, receiver, replacement barrel), rear sight excluded.
-Long Branch No.4 Mk1*, 1942 production, South African Issue, all original, non-refurbished and matching Nos across the board.
On the docket for acquisition short term:
post 800k SA 1903
US model 1917
long-term - TBD!
Thanks for the add and I look forward to chatting with all of you over this insane passion!
Hello to all,
Just jumped in to say Hello and glad to be part of this growing community. Been reloading and shooting since I was knee high to a junebug and still am learning a lot from others that are more knowledgeable than I am. I look forward to interacting with others on matters concerning the world of guns and ammo.
Cheers!
