I need a SRS for Ser No 1,497,364.
I think it is a NM as it has a 1937 Star Gauge barrel and NM trigger.

Yes. DCM sale, NMA1. Got any photos?
Thanks!! You made my month.
I don't have any pics. Right now it is a barreled receiver with a trigger and triggerguard. I bought the gun at a pawn shop and it was heavily sporterised. I am going to return it to original configuration. Will post a pick when the build is complete.
The pre-war C-stock will cost ya', but I'd do the same thing. :thup:
Would all NM have the S/N on the stock? I recently took off a demilled Remington M1903 a C-Stock with Proof but no inspection marking and no "NM-S/N" (all hidden under a thick black dirt, grease and oil cover).
There are still deals to be had on pre-war C stocks, I recently snagged one on ebay in excellent condition with the original finish and all markings intact for less than $250 shipped.
The vast majority of Type C stocks were made for "service rifle" use, not for National Match rifles. Did the Type C have an S or a K in the recess for the cutoff?Quote:

Rick, nothing much left on the stock to say if there ever was a K or a S in the cutout, see yourself.
The photos that Promo attached look to be a WWII C-stock.
Nope thats not it, mine has'nt been touched and I got it in July. This one looks to have messed with, gouged out for an 03a3 handgard rind and something don't look right behind the trigger bow but if the sling is original and in good shape it may still be a good buy. The one in your pictures has the earmarks of a Keystone.
That's a wartime stock made by Keystone. You can tell by the shape of the small of the stock.Quote:

Is the following stock on one of my M1903s (1.020.XXX S/N (no Mark I!), NS bolt and barrel date SA 10-27) also a later Keystone?
It may be a Springfield. Any sign of a K or S in the recess for the cutoff? $75 in Euros or anything else for that stock is a heck of a good buy!!!
FWIW I looked at the C stock in Promo's link again, I was half asleep the first time when I said it looked like it had mods for a handgard ring but after looking again I see it does'nt. My mistake.
I have a C stock with a SA SPG cartouche with the drawing number D-1836 and in back of the drawing number is stamped 1497163, must have been on a NM rifle
Wow that's close to my serial number. Would you consider parting with it?
Slightly OT, but I have a USMC target rifle, which was made up of several different parts. It includes a former NM stock, with #1,402,314 stamp near the butt swivel; a fe years ago, I briefly owned M1903 #1,402,304!
Rick, you're incredible. Just checked it, there's a S in the cutoff of the stock. So it could be original to that rifle?
Promo - I believe your serial #1,020,xxx is just before Mark I production started. The C-stock, not "adopted" until '29, would be a later addition, I believe.
I know this is an old thread. But I have been trying to locate parts for my build and have questions about the rear sight collar and barrel bands.
1. Will any rear sight collar with lightening cuts work (provided it has the appropriate alignment slot, mine is 1 o'clock) or is there a more specific one?
2. What finish should the rear sight collar and the barrel bands have? Blue/Dark Park/Grey Park?? (I have found an assortment of options while searching)
The receiver appears to be a grey park and I have noticed a punch mark on it below the serial number. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

If you need some parts, email or PM me, I may be able to help. Don't have a fixed rear sight base, though.
