Try Dupage Trading Co. I have purchased 2 from them. They seem to come up with the old ones from time to time.
I don't know about the US Army but when WWII started the Marine Corps grabbed all the 1903NM's they could find and converted them
to sniper rifles. Then they grabbed all the Star Gauged barrels...
The Danes were great guns. VAR barrel is excellent to shoot with. They took good care of them and didn't mess them up like the other countries did. WRA had their parts contract for a while and some...
Just got back from Camp Perry with 2 S'G' barreled receivers. When I got there they had about 30, 29 were S'G' and one IBM. Most had original barrels, my 2 were less than .002.
I have a almost...
Sounds like it was greased years ago and the grease has hardened. Tear the trigger group totally down, clean all parts, check for rust, and use a good gun oil to lube it. The safety is the last thing...
I don't know what matches you are talking about but we shoot at the Garand fun Match at Camp Perry every year during the Nationals and I have never heard of a Garand being rejected for a stock issue....
It sure is legal. Most of the return guns have wood repairs, even some of the USA rebuilds have the brass pins in them.
I was at CMP North Wen. morning and the place was packed. They restocked after the National Matches with the best stuff I have seen all year. Lots of ammo, Carbine S'G' barreled receivers, and great...
ChuckinD is right. I have a original 1934 Price List from Dir. of Civilian Marksmanship to members of the NRA. The standard NM at 8 1/2# was $40.90. The Style T NM at 14# with a heavy barrel,...
I have a 1903NM that sort of dropped in my lap with no papers. Its a 1931 sn. 1371539 with Hacher hole. Barrel is a 1932 star gauged. Wood is NM with Dwg # SA dated 1938. Bolt is NS full polished...
I believe the Italians made the BM 59's from M1 Garand parts when the US came out with the M-14's. I have seen instructions on the net how to convert a M1 to one but it requires a lot of machine...
In the early 60's we all carried M-14's in Germany and I never saw a select fire one. All were semi autos. My son ownes Springfield Inc
M1A that was factory made select fire with paper. It's worth...
The last 2 I picked up were from Uruguay. The stocks are washed? All the finish was blasted off some how. They look really bad but the metal is fine. No rust or corrosion. The butt plates are a joke,...
I placed a order Mon. 6-28 for a boltless. My Texas son called Wen. with a emergency order for a boltless & a Garand so I did a Perry run. They had about 20 boltless in stock. I almost got a SG w/WRA...
A few months ago they had almost a full list of rackers. I needed a S'G' and they had them for $595 so I put in a blind order. Good news was it came with
the correct service grade (+.001) Underwood...
Thanks Guys
As usual I screwed up his email address. If his front blade is .05 thk I will be
walking in tall cotton, if not Mr Dremel will solve the problem.
I am looking for a repro USMC sight set for a 1903A3 SC . I understand they
were made by gun smith named Bill Benz, dcm450@comcast.com. I tried emailing him but my message came back? Does anyone...
The guys are right, no way will it be a cheap project, plus it would be super easy to screw it up. I would contact Chuck-in Denver and ask if you could UPS him the gun and have him evaluate the cost...
There is a guy in Texas who builds match grade 1903's and the trophy guns for the CMP National Matches. His name is Eric Pierce. He has a web sight
called "National Match Armory" He is about a half...

I read the "sticky" and went down my basement since it's 40deg, rain, and
windy in Ohio now. I took out the screw and found a 1/8" dimple (stake) in the base. I drilled it...
OOps you are right. I just got a S'G' Carbine and thats what the tool is fore.
The 03A3 had a parked rear sight and I tried to drift it off and replace it with a blued one but the dove tail section...
Get your handy dandy Dremal tool and grind off the 2. Then buy a medal stamp with a "1" on it and restamp the receiver. Then you have a M1. No one ever kept track of the M2 s/n's anyway. I have a...
I hear that CMP has found someone to make M84 scopes for their Snipers. Also they made do a Sniper fun match shot at 300 & 600 yds in the near future. Should be fun to get the 1903's, M1C's & D's out...
You brought up a real can of worms. The originals were made at Springfield, thus the open box SA stock. BUT the design was so simple they made "kits" which were shipped to Army field units to refit...
Since we have 10 Carbines I just ordered the tool. I figure it will pay for itself
over the years.
