I just bought one (Sarco repro) for my 1903-A3, but have yet to receive it. I stopped in and spoke to the guys at Dupage Trading Co. They carry the Boyds repro stocks - same as those carried by the...
I apologize if I'm going too far off topic. Can you comment on how the Brownells reproduction 03-A3 stocks compare to the CMP reproduction 03-A3 stocks? Are the Brownells 03-A3 stocks sold with...
Chuckindenver is correct, it was a BAR sight. I read an article years ago in Precision Shooting magazine about a guy who had a machinist friend install one for him for long range shooting. I recall...
Thank you for posting the photo and additional description. I do understand the complexity of trying to describe something as difficult as wood grain, so I do appreciate your efforts!
I've noted...
Thanks for the great tips! I had never heard of Liberty Tree Collectors - what an outstanding resource!
My stock has been stained and I'm having some trouble identifying what type of wood it is. ...
Hey guys,
I'm an infrequent poster here, but lurk fairly often. I'm looking for a replacement stock for a rifle I recently purchased. The wood was heavily sanded and a brass plaque was inletted...
jmauer, I think I saw your barrel at Chucks prior to installation. Too bad he didn't have two of those JA barrels!
How about some range reports for Criterion barrels from anyone?

I dropped an action off for Chuckindenver to rebarrel. I've never seen any posted results on how the Criterion barrels are working. What kind of group sizes is everyone getting?
My reason for...
Sorry, I should've been more specific. My intent wasn't to place a WTB ad, but rather to solicit opinions of holsters available from vendors for the M1917.
Good point on the cross draw issue. I...
I'm looking for an original style holster for my S&W 1917 for range and hunting use. I'm not a re-enactor, so perfect authenticity isn't important to me. I see that Numrichs has them for about $21,...
Lou, I think you did some great work, especially considering the condition of the material you were working with. The fit of the filler pieces to the stock and contours that you filed/sanded the...
Expanding what Calif-Steve said, I called Springfield Sporters to order a laundry list of small parts. The guy that I dealt with kindly handled my request for each part with a specific...
Lou, I really appreciate your pictures and comments regarding this type of stock repair! I haven't had a lot of woodworking experience, but what I've had, I always used typical glue like Elmer's...
That's some beautiful work, Lou! Can you describe how you attached those pieces to the stock? Did you use screws, then cover with a dowel or just use a wood peck/dowel to secure them?
I've got...
Hi Chuck,
You're absolutely correct about the Krieger match grade barrel being in-the-white, unthreaded, no extractor cut and no front sight key cut. I realize it puts more burden on the gunsmith...
Sorry to dig up this old thread. The aftermarket flash hider was mentioned for the Swedish Mauser and I'm wondering who sells them. I have a couple of Swedish Mauser's with the threaded barrels. I...
Hey guys, this is my first post here. This looks like a great forum!
Chuck, I'm debating which way to go with a replacement barrel for my Eddystone. I called Krieger and found that they'll make...
