Is the second one from the right a Martini Henry .455?

It is funny how things turn out sometime. As noted above, a poster pointed out that the bolt in this gun (1903A3) was an older one that might not be safe to shoot. Well in looking at my first 1903,...

I got a very quick response from the CMP, they said they would exchange the handguard!! They are sending me a shipping lable to return it. Very cool, only drawback will be the 2 to 3 weeks this...

I just went to the Fulton Armory site, these are their prices. A barrel is 274, bolt is 299 and receiver is 699, total of 1272 just for the three main parts. Don't have any idea what a gunsmith...

I am glad others posted comments about this photo, I almost said that looks like marine camo, what was he doing in France? Wonder what this would look like compared to the marine version?

I just dashed off a quick email to the CMP customer service area about the handguard issue. I noted on the CMP site that of the three photos of 1903 stock sets, only one of then have the metal clips...

The 1903A3 one that has the two metal clips visable from the side. The handguard from CMP does not have the inlets cut out for the clips. I have not stained or tung oiled the stock yet, so hopefully...

Thank you both for the feedback, that is exactly what I was looking for as I am fairly new to this type of rifle. The stock is not an issue as I have a new CMP one I purchased for my other 1903, but...

Thank you very much George R., I was not aware of the information about when the US stoped using corrosive ammo. I have got to get out to the range and try some of these to see how they shoot.

Thanks for the info, I will add the photos now. I don't have a guage to check on the wear, but it must not be too far gone. I shot a 92 out of 100 in slow fire prone which was better than my M1 the...

Ths is a test photo.

I picked up the 1903A3 below at a gun show here in the St. Louis area last week. I paid $600 for it, just wondering how I did on the price? There were others at the show that were up to $1,200, but...

I just picked up a 1903A3 for $600 at a gunshow here in MO. I plan on posting a thread asking "How Did I Do?" to see what others think after they see the photos. At the same show there were others...

I opened some of the boxes and they are all marked L C 52. But the linked rounds in the other can are marked R A 52. Anyway these will not go into my M1, I just picked up a 1903A3 shooter that will...

I have two questions about some old ammo. My dad just gave me two .30 cans of what he called Lake City ammo that he picked up in the late 50's or early 60's. One can has the normal boxes of ammo...

I just checked and the SLED at Fulton Armory is only 11.95 plus shipping. I value my fingers more than that small amount! (The idea of attempting to use a hacksaw on a small metal clip sounds like...

I purchased a nice 1903A3 at a gun show today and took it to the range to see how it shot. The second shot hit the bullseye and I was very happy, but it was all downhill after that. After about 30...

I am looking for an On-Line Viewable Schematic for a 1903A3, is one available?

Thanks for the replys, maybe I was getting excited over nothing! I will take it out to the range and see how she does, it has not been fired since 1988, the last year I hunted with it. (This was my...

The attached photos are not very good, I can not figure out how to get my camara to focus up close. Anyway the first photo reflects how the barrel is just sort of floating in the stock. The second...

Thank you for your reply, it is helpful. The barrel is resting on the stock on the bottom, but there is a gap between the top of the barrel and the upper band. That gap is what is allowing the...

I received my new stock for my 1903A3 from the CMP and it fits very nicely excely for one thing. The barrel is loose at the end and will wobble around with only very light pressure from my finger. ...

I have a 1954 H&R M1 that had a TE of 3 when I purchased it 3 years ago. I shoot in JCG matches at a club that uses the 30 shot rotation, so the top score is 300. My best score is 255, while the...

I have not recevied my new CMP stock yet, but I did receive a new buttplate. The buttplate seems to be smaller than the picture of the stock, are new stocks made larger and must be sanded to fit the...
