Send me a pm with your email, being that I didn't buy the rifle I don't want to post the sellers pics. I instead picked up another 1903A4, needed another one like a kick in the nuts but I just can't...

I passed on it, I'm quite confident in verifying 1903's, all I really wanted to know if there's known original examples with out RLB or later FJA cartouche. Decided in the end I want a earlier...

I got pics, whatbwould you like to see?

Hi folks, I recently got offered what appears to be an original 1903, serial is 30550xx with a barrel date of 1-42. My only concern is the stock. It has has no RLB or ordinance wheel cartouche but...

I seen it on another suspected USMC built 1903a3, no sedgley barrel on this one. This one was either way, I've heard from sources that they did etch the serials on the bolt and barrels but I haven't...

Mike you are absolutely right, there is ghosting and appears to be the same serial. I tried messing with contrast but all I can get a pic of and see is 21 by the naked eye I can see 210_8...

Hi folks,
I may have missed this somewhere but I'm looking for correct ranges of serial numbers between the scopes, I know the known estimated ranges of type 1, 2a, 2b, 3 scope but where do they...

Code talkers in the United States have been storied, honored and lauded for their military contributions. But much less known, and barely recognized for their service by the Canadian government, were...

Exactly, I have a completely original 1943 GAW that has a few windage knob marks in it from the rifle beside it.

If it has the arsenal stamps in the wood leave as is, still a great rifle with history. In order of collectibility and value it goes like this
1) original/correct
2) arsenal rebuild
3)...

Nice looking collection, likewise I don't shoot my matching rifles, impossible to replace a matching part, and I want to preserve the history and value. I've got FN Mauser in 30-06 that's worked fine...

Don't know, probably won't find out. Original parts are irreplaceable, and with plenty of vopo's and Bubba'd ones out there to shoot.

Hi folks,

I notice there's not really a place for these, with over 400k of these being built I imagine there's some nice ones out there. Here's a matching example I picked up and imported earlier...

Yes now that I look closely it is marked I S CO with flaming bomb, I'm not familiar with that maker. Any info would be appreciated.

You bet I'm aware, I've seen a couple like that, one way to verify original finish as I've seen bubba try and blue that and get rid of the different tone

Thanks guys, I couldn't ask for a better one. The plugged front sight bead hole is a result of having a riot gun barrel iirc. I was just going by what's in Canfields and poyers books, I'm sure there...

Hi folks,

I picked this one up in an auction state side in April, it was a sleeper I think I did quite well. When it finally got home from the import process I went through it and poyers book. I...

Ask and you'll receive. The best thing you can do if not confident or well versed is to take pics and post to threads like these for some of the collecting veterans to have a look. Heck I made a...

Rereading my previous post, I forgot a comma after I disagree, hope the context is clear

Having an actual M1A1 and observing 3 others vs the amounts of fakes or drop in's. I disagree there are certain wear characteristics that a M1A1 receives when in a paratrooper stock for a long time....

Gorgeous!

Good luck with your search

That's a beauty rifle you have BAR, I'm regretting passing up the one I had offer to me before Christmas.

Nice work, those VAR barrels sure can shoot.

Thank you browning
