Mike:
I, for one, have never scoffed at the 03A3. Or any other firearm. I scoff at those who wish to seperATE THOSE FROM THEIR FIREARMS.

If you are asking about the nickle steel, the change was made at #1,275,767. If you are asking about the holes, I can't help.

The Denver plant is closed too. They marked their brass "DEN". It is now Federal Government Office buildings.

At the bottom of this page, there is an old thread called "Drill Purpose Rifle Fired" by A F Medic. It has a good picture of the DP rifle chamber hole.

Yep. Just like the man said.

Boomer:
Why do you say it is a Winchester stock?

Cal:
I have several P-14 DP rifles. They are stamped DP all over. The scope mount covers the stamping on the receiver, The floor plate has to be polished out, welded or replaced. Depending on...

Patrick:
What did you do? Did you memorize the book?

My 1917 shoots cast bullets well. I have shot them in a 30 carbine. I get about a 3 foot group. It's kinda hard to measure. Never tried a P-14 or Springfield. I will try a K98 soon. If you...

How do you straighten a bent barrel?

I use 180 gr bullets and 17 grains of Unique.
The Lyman manual has the best cast bullet section of any loading manual I am aware of. Other than the cast bullet books

If it's already ruined, you can't hurt it if you try to polish out the pinched part.
Valve grinding compound, or any powdered abrasive.

There is no way to tell. The problem with the low number rifles was that the heat treatment was done by the seat of the pants method. It was found that on bright sunny days, the ovens were allowed...

I wouldn't care about the mis-matched parts. They are often done this way at government arsenals during rebuilds.
Besides; power boating, antique cars, airplanes...are all way more expensive...

This is going to be real hard to do long distance.
Do you agree with his assesment that it was bent and straightened? When you look down the bore, what do you see?
I think the first thing I would...

I wouldn't give a #*@n. It can't be serious. You still have an 03 at a bargain price. Send it to Chuckin. Or better yet, sell it to me.

John:
I would gladly pay the reward. Let me know how much and where to send it.

The 900000 numbered Springfield was made in 1918. It was of the double haet treated variety. It should have the slickest action America issued other thah the Krag. I would trade my first born for...

If you have an empty case, by that I mean "no Powder", with a bullet seated. You can "smoke" the case, or balcken it, or use layout dye etc. Then chamber the cartridge. Scrape or drag marks can be...

How do you find out about this kind of stuff? It looks like a garden variety Spgfld. bolt to me.

I guess that about explains everything.
Good posts from evertbody.

Badge:
It was actually a rhetorical question. I was making a reference to the sad state that poly-tics has devolved to. Thanks for the explanation anyway.

Why can't you discuss poitics? If I fell head first into the bottom of an outhouse, I would want to talk about it,:runaway::runaway::runaway: sooner or later.

It's not really the firearm that drives people insane. It is the bayonet lug and the type of pistol grip.
Once I bought a big black scary looking car. It had a fully automatic transmission, large...

Yeah. I thought it was the Regiment. Right at the top of the reciever ring. On mine there is an eagle with a 3 digit number under it. I was told that it was the regiment. I can't remember if I...
