M1903 Springfield

M1903 Serial No.1248637, bought at the CMP North Store in Ohio in August 2006, made in 1922. This rifle has a barrel Marked SA 10-42, indicating a barrel replacement during an...

I recently picked up a cut down DWM G98 dated 1917. It has had it's barrel cut to 23-3/4", stock badly butchered and the receiver drilled and tapped for a receiver sight so it's too far gone to...

My current sporter Mauser project may also been part of those 1964 shipments. It is a DWM Mauser dated 1917. I bought at a local auction in July ($130.00) where it was advertised as a 7mm. It is...

I can second the motion on the accuracy and smoothness! I bought my only Krag as a cut-down stock sporter last October and I restored it over the winter with replacement front band, handguard and...

Thanks all for the responses. A new firing pin and follower spring from Springfield Sporters solved the problem nicely.

I bought a very similar rifle at a local Estate auction several years ago, marked Simson & Co. Suhl and dated 1916. It also has mixed numbers and the K98 type rear sight but, I'm happy to say, has a...

Nice collection Goo! I have accumulated a few also (see PIC).

I have really learned to like the 303 Enfield; soft recoil and...

My son has a 1914 dated Oviedo model 95 Mauser 7x57mm carbine and it has a feeding problem. If a round is fed into the chamber and the bolt closed, all is well. However, if a round is inserted into...

While I would now never think of butchering a nice military rifle, when I was in my middle teens in the mid 1950s, I truly lusted for an 03 sporter with a Bishop or Fajan stock, a good aftermarket...

The handguard in the picture came with the stock set from the CMP so I probably won't change it although I have two new WW2 vintage replacement 03 handguards to choose from if I ever get the urge. ...

I bought an M95 Chileno Mauser at an auction in March 08 thinking it was a 7mm. After I got it home I found it would not chamber a 7x57mm round. Then I noticed the 7.62 over N on the rear receiver...

I got a CMP "C" stock last fall for my best 03 shooter and was well pleased. The only fitting required was at the rear of the handguard which sandpaper took care of.

Thanks much for the responses guys! I'm not sure what I will do with it just yet. I recognized the scope and mount as an old classic of the 40s or early 50s and, apparently, no one else at the...

I'm not sure where to post this question but I am most familiar with the folks on the 03 forum so here goes!
I attended a local estate auction this morning and was able to purchase a Lyman Alaskan...

Having time to hunt in 1944 also leads me to believe this fellow might have been in the air corp. Somewhere, I have some pictures of my Uncle Ed Sullivan wearing a similar jacket. He served in the...

This picture appeared in my home town morning paper today. I couldn't help noticing the rifle wa an M1903. Just a local guy getting in some hunting wherever he could during the war....

Thanks all for the input. Peter, I will try your method, it sounds reasonable.

Thanks all, guess I did OK pricewise.

I recently scored 5 fresh looking boxes of Hornady "Light Magnum" 150 gr. ammo at an estate auction for $9.00 per box. Anybody have any experience with this stuff? Ballistic tables indicate that...

I recently attended an estate auction and bought a 1917 dated Mauser with the DWM logo on the receiver ring and marked "GEW 98" on left side of receiver. This rifle has been sporterized by Bubba...

I have 9 so far, including my latest, a sporter 1918 vintage 03 I buoght at an auction a few weeks ago. I know it's not an original militarry 03 but it's the sporter I would have built in the 1950s...

I have a couple of G&H two Lever mounts (left over parts from a custom Mauser my Uncle had back in the 1950s) but I have never seen a single lever G&H mount. I recently purchased an old 03 sporter...

I finally got the 03 sporter I lusted after 50+ years ago at an auction today; M1903 30-06 serial No. 9352xx. It is in very nice shape and came with a classic style (non-Monte Carlo) stock, a Tasco...
