From an HMS Sheffield survivor- "Always look on the bright side of life..."

British individual riflemen were trained for 200-400 yard engagement. American riflemen were trained for longer ranges. Either way, the Europeans got a lesson about the abilities of a good...

Although many consider M1s to be an -06, they're more correctly caliber .30M2. Specific projectile weights and powder charges are required for the M1 to function properly. 210 gr. .30-06 may damage...

Barrel will have a date. 1941-1942 MAY have been installed by the Corps, or may not...But if it's a late 1942 or later, it most likely was NOT installed by the Marines. Marine rifles had their own...

Most 43-44 dated Sedgley '03 barrels were sold off. M1s had replaced the '03 in frontline service, so by then there wasn't much call for replacement barrels. I have RIA 342626, a Marine rifle from...

RIA 318834...Thanks in advance...

Looks like No.4 wood...Check for the lightening cuts...

I thought that the Circled "S" was the Sedgley

Elevation screw is OLD SA or RIA. Cocking Piece SA 1918-1920,Rear Sight Ladder and Front Sight Protector should be "R" marked as well.

SA barrel, 9-19 date...In addition, there is "W L 7 2", "CR", a sideways "V" and what could be a "6" or "9" or "G"...I don't know barrel codes, but someone in here does. Thanks in...

My 3.16 mil. Rem. m1903 came in a "S" stock marled with a boxed "RLB"...It is my understanding that there were overlaps between '03s and 03A3s...Parts as well as Stocks, and cartouches.

Looks like someone, lacking in knowledge, mated a blast deflector off a Lee-Enfield Rifle No.V Mk.1 with a chopped M1903A3. The aforementioned British "Jungle Carbine" is actually a short barreled...

You might want to check your followe for markings...If there is an "E", "R", or a "W", your follower is from a m1917 rifle...Had one syick on me before...

Garand, Winchester...

Any info on M1 ser.no. 1364589...No info on stock markings or bbl. originality. Any information regarding this rifle will be appreciated, along with a best/worst case $ value. Sorry no photos...W

SWEET!!!

Barrel not likely put on by USMC- by 1944 the Corps was catering primarily to M1 Garands...But...Stranger things have happened. I've shot several SHT bolts in DHT receivers w/o problems...Corps...

If your barrel has a date of 1919, that would be original. You might have someone search the SRS database to see if there's anything particularly special about your Mk-1.

Yes...The Mauser Gw 98 and K 98...

Likely a slightly stiffer extractor spring, or ejector spring...Or lighter....

It would appear that what you have is a shooter, or parts. Those JA barrels have been known to be accurate...and gently worn, if worn at all. Shoot first, you could have a tack driver; if not, you do...

Likely original barrel. "A V" stamp indicates an Avis barrel, finished by S.A., which was done on many NM rifles post WWI. Stock likely replaced...My $.02...

I have a Victory Model in .38 S&W....Would unmarked grip(s) be indicative of arsenal overhaul? Mine is all matching, except for one of the grips...Paid $400 for it at a show in Tulsa...Not the...

Question...Does the barrel have a date and letters indicating a contract. Those vise marks could be from a pipe fitter's that USMC used to rebarrel 03's with 1938-1942. Shame if that was a low serial...

….Doubts regarding originality...1)Stock has cuts for M1903A3....2) bright blue lower band...3) As far as I know, Marine Sniper '03s bolts were polished, not left in the blue, and serialized to the...
