    It's so heavily buffed that the U.S. on the receiver is gone. As best as I can tell the scope is the best part of it, but the scope isn't worth $2400. I think you'll see what I mean when you look...

    I didn't think it was right. The rifle has lots of issues. It's a real A4 receiver, but has been heavily buffed, 03A3 barrel, commercial scope base and likely a scant stock that was not an A4...

    03A4 Bolt Question

    I'm looking at a Remington 03A4 rifle that I'm certain has quite a few problems. I suspect the bolt is one of them, but wanted to get opinions on it's authenticity before making an offer. It does...

    These must be the notches you're talking about. Glad to know that those holes aren't something someone did in their basement. It did strike me as odd that they weren't threaded. Looks like Ross...

    Interesting! I'll get a photo of the butt ASAP. Since the holes are on the bottom of the barrel, does that mean that this was one that was set back? The large chamber end of the barrel seems to be...

    Ross MkII Barrel Question

    I just purchased what appears to be a full military U.S. marked Ross MkII 3*. It was filthy and a little rusty, so I took it apart to clean it up and noticed that there were two non-threaded holes...

    Thanks for the I.D. My friend bought this at an auction for $100 and thought he paid too much. He tends to be pretty lucky though - at the same auction he bought a Winchester 97 WWI era riot gun...

    Holster Oddity

    A friend recently brought me this holster for identification. He thought it was for a P08, but I've never seen one like that. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Frank, I didn't take the bolt out as the rear sight had to be removed to do so. The front end of the bolt looked like it may have been a Remington 513, but that's just a guess. The back was...

    I took a couple of other pictures of the rifle before I gave it back to my friend. They're not great, but I'll get them posted. To answer some of the questions, there are two filled holes about 1"...

    Interesting 1903 22 Cal Conversion

    A friend recently brought in a M1903 22 caliber conversion of some sort. It's in what appears to be a no-bolt full length stock, with no hand guard. The barrel is an SA, dated 3-08 and is not...

    I like a good story and that's certainly a good and even plausible one. It doesn't have the new fangled cutoff though, the magazine is off with the lever up. Guess we'll have to change that 1899...
