Oh I agree, and that won't be a problem - - - No Safe Queens in my house. ;)

The cut down stock in the picture was discarded a long time ago. The group was made using an old beat up type S stock...

mausernut,

Thanks for the comment.

Yup Sub MOA. I didn't expect that at all. Using the HXP I got the normal 2-3 inch group.

I took a 10 - 15 minute break to let it cool down. Then, just...

United States Rifle, Caliber .30, Model of 1903.
SN# 838xxx
Barrel Date 7-27

100 yards, six o'clock hold, USGI #6 aperture. 5 shots from a cold barrel. No sight adjustment was made.

Sorry but I called dibs to bring it home in Post # 3. :D

Agree with all that its a great example of out battleship navy. :thup:

I couldn't agree more. This 03A1 is a shooter that I intend to use at a local military bolt gun match. :cool:

J.B.

Thanks for the insight. :thup:

I'm more of a accumulator than a collector of firearms. I'm military and buy my weapons to shoot. My taste is all over the place, i.e. I found this 03A1...

OK. Maybe so.

For me what is important is that the stock is correct for the time period that the receiver and barrel would have gone together. :cool:

On Behalf of the Great State of Tennessee..., I will accept this fine rifle back to its home.

To what address do you wish for me to send a signed copy of my FFL in order to quicky return this...

First I did a quick inspector initial sreach on m1903.com. It came back as...

"SPG = Samuel P. Green Col. USA M1903, M1 .30 Rifles 1938."

Poyer on page 405 also has SPG as Samuel P. Green.

Yea I was shocked to find it on ARFCON, even more so on that user unfriendly "new exchange." I kept looking at this rifle thinking "why hasn't this gun sold?" Then I remember that alot of the black...

Not a star gauged barrel. Has COL Samuel P. Green's inspector initials - SPG.

$550...., $550...., Who said anything about $550?????? ;)

Its S/N# 1500307 with a barrel date of 3-38 and a C stock. No hit on SRS.

So far the major parts are tracking for a 1938 rifle using the data I have (to include Ricca). Its showing all the...

So, are both numbers correct?

You're right, appears to be a one of those dis-connects between the two references.

I keep Poyer in the garage with my work bench and Brophy in house with my La-Z-Boy. ;)

Since we have these...

Folks,

I'm looking at a 03A1 that appears to be "as issued."

Using Poyer 3rd Edition as my reference, everything appears to be matching up other than the handguard drawing number. Poyer states...

Hmmmmm......

Ft Dupont, Delaware?

In the example above, what does "FT DUPONT TO SA" mean?

Thanks,

H&R in the 5.7m range.

Could someone please let me know if there is any SRS info for the following 1903:

SA S/N# 1500307
Barrel date 3-38

Thanks!

cii,

Thanks. Didn't realize they were that short. For some reason I always felt that the USMC sights were as high or higher than the "A" = 0.537 sight.

regards,

Check with Bill Bentz.

His email is...... dcm450shtr@comcast.net

RBruce,

BIG Thanks! :thup:

Now I understand how the rear sight is installed.

Would you happen to know the height of the front sight?

Thanks,

Does anybody have pictures of the USMC Sights mounted on a rifle?

Thanks!

shindaiwa6,

PM sent.

Agree that the 1927 Army board could have decided that the 800k and up SNs would be an easy number for all of the arms rooms to track. Besides, since there appeared to be no way to figure out which...
