I sure agree with that...and as the owner of that stock I am thrilled that Frank is doing the work... I really like that rifle and it is important to me that it remains as true and honest as...

Thanks ! I had not thought about looking at .303 bullets.... and will try the Midway 150g bullets... I wonder why they only list that bullet for 7.62 X 39 instead of 7.62 X 54r ??

I think that...

Are your serious ?? At 5500 Euro that's a ton of money.... I am new to Springfield finer points and don't know exactally what anything is worth...it just sounds like a bunch..

I look at the gun...

Yep, it is right up there.....311" (slug size) so I think a .308 bullet would fit mighty loose...sorta wobble down the barrel...

The problem I am running into is finding a bullet in the .311"...

I am shooting a SVT-40 at a local range...and they do not allow shooting any steel core ammo to be used.... so instead of buying new ammo I bought a big load of surplus 7.62X54 Russian .... and...

I bought two of these years ago when they were importing them....glad I did...
Last summer I added a scope to the one I shoot... I really did not like the original scope mounts as they make the...

The side piece on my #48 appears to me much longer than the standard #48.. I now see one just like mine on FLEBAY and it says Type 48 for Springfield 1903....

I tried to take pictures but they are a bit hard to see....what is there on the second line is

B1908A

I have an early 1903 built by RIA in 1908. The inspectors stamp is the CN1908 but there are two other stamps in smaller type... and non-scriot... so it looks like B1908A (inside the box just under...

No, I did not admit to anything.... it was years ago, so now I don't worry about saying that I probably did do it...but not then...

Plus I wanted to fight it, not pay it... I do not think I was...

Now the funny part..... (all of this would be funny if it was not me).... I only live about 10 miles from the range, and work as a firefighter....when I got home, the cops had beat me home and had a...

wow, I expected to be bashed by all the NRA lovers.... and I appreciate your replies... Yes, you bet I did not own up to starting it.... but I really think I did....I was shooting military 7.62 by...

Wow, I see it is still for sale....many months later...probably that $595 price... I need the arm and the screws for my Lyman 103 but not that much....hopefully I can just find the parts, but at...

Yes, I think you are probably correct....but it sure hurt the kid...it took him a long while to find another gun related job...he took the firing personally.

I really do not want to start a fight, or to make folks mad...but I want to share a story with you and my frustration with the NRA.

A number of years ago I took my Nagant carbine to a local range...

I agree that Cabella's did the correct thing in recalling that junk they were selling ...and offering the guy gas money, and to refund his money.... but it was not to be nice, I am sure it was...

I just tried a new 30:06 shell in the rifle and you are so right....Thanks... I would have never thought a fired shell would be different .... so my chamber is 30:06
I am new to the forum and...

Hi Frank... Might you do stock patches.... I have a 1903 that I need patched where someone carved out for a Lyman receiver sight...and filed the comb with a file... I have some stock wood that...

Good question.....not sure why not... all I did was try an empty shell and the bolt would not close.... so I assumed... (I know, Bad) This rifle was a hand-me-down and has been sitting in someones...

Yes, that is exactly the type repair that I want... those pictures show how well they did it...
I have a war time Russian SVT-40 that has three patches and they made no attempt to match the...

Yes it is one of the rare ones...1908 with fine stamps ..... no bolts...Rock Island ...it would be wonderful if it had not been hacked up...

I have an early Rock Island...1908... and there is a strange slot in the upper handguard....it looks original to the handguard...it is about 1/4" wide and 3/4" long and sits just about 5/8" forward...

I just bought a super early 1903 but the stock has been hacked....someone cut out for a Lyman sight and also filed down the top of the comb.... (dumb)
I have seen field and rebuild patches...

I just bought a really early 1903 Rock Island with a stock dated 1908. My problem is someone added a Lyman sight and carved out the stock....then filed the comb some to thin it at the top...it has...
