That is a beautiful gun!!. Thanks for the pics.
Very cool info, looking forward to your post.
Thanks.
I just recently purchased an Winchester 1917 and when I was disassembling it for a cleaning before shooting it for the first time I noted that there appeared to be some black paint on the barrel and...
Thanks for the feed back everyone, glad I got a good deal. It has been a few years since I purchased a US rifle and wasn't sure about the prices. Unfortunatley it seemed that ALL surplus has kinda...
Thanks John.
Thanks for all the info, I will definately give the stain a try. I paid 900, was that to high?
Thanks to everyone who responded. I have started a thread to get some informaton on the gun. Here is the link.
Purchased a Remingtion 1903A3 arsenal rebuild there is a lot of good but there is also some bad (I may have overpaid). The good, clean two groove barrel, all parts are R marked and to my knowledge...
will do
Thanks USGI, he is looking for 1000, so I guess I gotta give it a good going over.

I am hoping it is...
I have searched and a lot of the threads are older, so I figured I would ask.
I don't have much info on the gun, so just asking for a ball park value. From the serial number it looks like it is a...
I purchased a Polish Tokarev that was imported by Intrac. When imported the safety was installed and the grip on that side of the gun appears to have been changed to allow function of the safety....
Thanks Martin08, I was thinking 800-900 range as well.
Looking at purchasing a Remington 1903A3. The serial number dates to February of 43. The barrel has RA 9 43. The stock has cross pins and a BA-WI cartouche.
BA-WI is a rebuild stamp, correct?...
Took her to the range today, shot 40 rounds seems to have cleaned up a little, especially the first 4-5 inches from the throat. The groups were not the best but I think that has to do with me and...
I ordered some parts, front and back post as well as front and back action screws. Attached in an image of the new and old rear parts, the one on the left is the new parts the one on the right is one...
Thanks for the info, took a look at mine (the one on the left) no serial # and it measured 2.19. So I it looks like a 1917 rear sight.
Just to clear up my understanding, I though that the 30-06...
Got my 1st P14 and was doing some research to identify if the rear sight was a correct P14 rear sight. Found that the P14 rear sight has extra tics, pointed out in the photo below. My rear sight...
Waiting on some parts, rear receiver screw and front screw post. I think the parts shipped today, will post an update when I take her to the range.
Thank you so much for taking those pics, my front screw appears to be the same length and my rear screw is a little longer. I have placed an order for the front screw post and a couple of rear...
That very well could be it, but they already cut it. Does anyone have measurements of the standard lengths? This stock is the MK II replacement stock so I figured there might be a difference in...
Thanks for the reply. I used WipeOut and it cleaned it up A LOT. So if it is rust under carbon should shooting a few rounds help to "knock down" some of that so that it can be cleaned out on a...
I recently got a borescope, not a high end one, just one for taking a look in the barrel since my eyes are not the best anymore. Overall I think this barrel cleaned up pretty good, I have just never...
I recently purchased a P14 from an online source, looked great in the pics, but.....
First thing I noticed was that the rear action screw had been cut, I have to assume this was NOT standard...
The stock looks good, even being heavily sanded, someone did a nice refinish job. I will keep an eye out for a SC stock at the gun shows, I am sure the price will be up there, but if there is a...
