does not have a 1917 triggerguard/floorplate
std 1903 springfield

picked up a really nice condition 1903 at a lgs because there was something odd looking about it but couldn't quite see it, other than a wrong middle band. sn in 488k range w/pepper pitting below...

ok, so a fake stamp. no harm, no foul, as i didn't think it was the real deal anyway. it is a really nice shooter stock, though. it locks up nice and tight with no fore/aft play.
btw, in the...

i finally figured out how to upload the pictures! tell me what you think.

correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't jlg a 1950-1953 cartouche? if i am correct, that would make something other than walnut correct as well?

bought a couple of garand stocks locally. first was a real nice ww2 sa gaw w/nice patina/wear. the second stock was a stunning sa jlg. this stock looked like it had never been on a gun. the only...

ok, so i have a garand in need of a bbl, and i kind of like the idea of an m1d. numrich sells a m1d kit with a new criterion bbl (known good quality), with a bbl block installed, and 7/8" rings that...

at this stage of the game, it would be prudent to get a good receiver from the cmp, and a replacement bbl as well. assuming that the rest of your parts are "real", you would then have a like new...

return it if possible and get your money back. this gun is a liability issue for the seller and now, you, as well. i have replaced two of these receivers so far, and both had sleeved 03a3 barrels...

i'm building a couple of 1903A4gerys for the cmp games matches. i have the receiver, bbl, stock, mounts and scope, but i need to find someone to recontour/bend/grind my bolts. any help finding a...

i am building a 1903a4 clone to shoot in the replica sniper matches that will be coming up. i have been able to source all the items that i need except for a bolt. any ideas where i can find a...

i think that there were two types of nm m14 stocks that the govt had in inventory, but not at the same time. i have one of the birch routed stocks that is in the std profile, with all the metal...

i have a chilean m98 in .308 too. it's very accurate at 200 yds, and i manage to win a medal w/it at camp perry every year. trigger is exceptional, bore is mint. bought it from a guy bringing it...

rick,
you are correct, as usual. it can't be rewelded if it wasn't welded to begin with. my bad.

really nice job though!

i need to share this with you. several months ago, a member of our gun club asked me to look at his garand, as he had just purchased it and wanted me to chk it out. this garand looked really nice...

To get a 'straight' bottom stock, you would need to cut and straighten the triggerguard metal, and shorten the mag box. Another option is to use a 1903 Springfield triggerguard, modified. I am not...

H.O.D. is the stamp for the Hawaii Ordinance Depot, which I believe was a repair/rebuild facility. The W.B. would be the inspector's initials. Someone correct me if I am mistaken.

an alternative to finding an orig 1903 bbl is to lathe turn a remington 1903a3 bbl so that the rear sight fits over it. this keeps the rifle more or less "correct".

several years ago, 2-3 i think, the cmp issued greek surplus 30/06 ammo for the garand and springfield/vintage matches. while the m1's worked ok w/it, there were problems galore w/bolt guns, having...

i believe that these bbls are available from white oak armament. john hollinger makes some great bbls that have all the flutes and adjustment flats milled in. not inexpensive, but really good. chk...

headspace gages are specific to caliber. a 30/06 gage will be good for any 30/06 rifle, regardless of type. with the m1a, the picture is somewhat different, as the military type (m14) was chambered...

i have a frank white, compass lake upper, set up as a 3-way. this is a detachable carry handle (w/match sights) upper, detachable frt sight, 20" bbl., floating hand guard. i shoot in a 100 yrd .22...

Just my 2 cents worth, but i've used a magnetic level on a 1" size block in the rear sight flat, coupled with the same level on the front sight pad for bbl alignment. you can quickly chk your...
