Thanks eveyone for the comments. I'll keep loading and shooting it. Thanks to Ed Byrns for the DCM sales info. The resources I have (Brophy and Poyer) do not really get into much detail about...
Thanks for all the input. I do appreciate it. It's a keeper. Now....if I could just find that RIA I've been searching for the last 10 years for. I think they avoid AL for some reason???
So...could the C stock be correct? There were no regular P markings on it. Nothing. It doesnt look to be sanded to h&!! and back to refinish it like lots I have seen.
I agree. I think the finish is correct. Oh well. I have $450 in it. I think it is worth that as a shooter. It's still a piece of history to me. Thanks Rick for answering my stock question. ...
Nope. It is a C Stock. Mark I stocks were S style. No cut out in mine.
Found this one saturday at a show. Traded for it. The SN and barrel date match according to my data. It looks to me someone tried to make a national match clone at some point. I took the chance...
It was not original. Somebody put some work into this one years ago. It has a faint etched scroll work on the floor plate. The bolt had be turned down, the receiver was drilled and tapped, and the...
My best friend Ben (I call him my dad, since he has been there for me all my life) introduced me to reloading over 30 years ago. He also introduced me to some very fine rifles over those years. He...
I knew what i had wasn't that rare, but what a piece of history. Thanks for all the other pics. Just wish i could find that un-altered 03 someday.
In that same box I found lots of .45 ACP headstamped FA and dated 1918. It looks ready to shoot!!!
He did not. I wish. I have a Mark I, so it is cool to see what it was meant to use.
I know that none of this is by no means rare, but i was digging through an old box of assorted junk on my reloading bench and this is some of what i found. One of the .30-06 rounds i know was...
My area is swamped with IMR 4227. I'm shooting a little over 12 grains cleanly and accurately in my Winchester. If you are interested in the exact load, I can look tonight. I can't remember off...
A timney is worth the money and easy to install.
He is not. He was reminded to put his glasses on right after that. I'll take the blame for that one. We were so focused on getting him set up to video, he forgot and so did I. It shall not...
Nice. I hope their interest in the shooting stays a priority. I teach, and unfortunately, interest in shooting is dwindling. Btw, very nice postal meter.
Posted earlier about a month ago about my find at a local show. It is a Winchester. I cleaned her up and worked up a load with 12.7 of IMR 4227 behind a 115 gr RN cast I got from NOE bullet...
Here are the pictures that I took. I hope this helps. It's driving me nuts that the weather was pretty this weekend, but I was busy, and now we are headed back into that vicious cycle of clear and...
Sorry Bob,
I have been out of pocket all weekend. I'm not really sure what you are looking for but I took more pics. I will post them tomorrow morning. I can't figure out how to post images from...
I would like to say thanks for all who have commented. You learn by asking and asking the right people. I'll keeping checking in on the forums and soaking it all in. The post about a winchester...
The stock appeared to be an aftermarket. It was an M2 configuration, but I don't like the bot bellied look and since there were no markings of any kind, I had a buddy of mine who is a professional...
Ok all you experts, tell me what I really have now. I did the best I could with the pictures. The group was the first shooting outing with this one. My handloads at about 50 yds off my bench. I...
Cool....l guess mine was made on the 14 or 15th??? The day of the 14th in 1944 was a Friday. The 15th was a Saturday. Who knows??? I will take more pics of my rifle on Wednesday night and post...
SN is 5743XXX.
