Round 4 is now closed as of Oct, 31st per CMP notice.
I cannot find what this stamp means on a US&S 1911A1 represents. It is a "MB" on a Marine Corps Barstow rebuild. Anyone know?

So it's a RIA with an FK .
My mind is playing tricks on me. I can't remember what stock stamp this is. Can someone help me? I think it shows a box w/"RTA" and below it a "FR"

Same problem, hope it gets fixed. I don't like the new format at all but it's no good being not able to view it at all now.
I have picked up the habit to reload my own Service 30.06 ammo. That way I can make sure all my M1 and 1903 rifle ammo is very accurately loaded with Accurate 4064 powder for Garand service rifle...
Well it's very nice to see. I love a happy ending and maybe soon you can get it to the range. I also love to have bayonets for each of my own Military issue rifles and the last one I need is one for...
I'm not any where as knowledgeable as you fine folks. But I feel very lucky to have found this rifle in it's current condition. The gentleman I purchased it from was very gracious and a pleasure to...
The Trigger guard has "R" stamp and is a milled part, however the lower band on the stock handguard is stamped with a "U". I'm sure this is a mixmaster after being refurbished. Though it is a...
Yep I sure did type 4 - 42, I must have been too excited. Sorry for that mistake. I went back and looked at my other 1903A3 to check the numbers....I don't even know how I posted the mistake.
The barrel is rollmarked as a 10/42,
Yes "R" stamps are present.
Thank you for the comment. I have found that I really have a fascination with these bolt rifles. Like most of you. I learned marksmanship while in the Marines and later spent some time as a...
Very faint stock markings.https://www.milsurps.com/images/imported/2021/08/b697eb091df1d89aab0d4cb11919f011-1.jpghttps://www.milsurps.com/images/imported/2021/08/624d272bde50f0023cff907c4ed73d42-1.jpg
Looks like a nice Remington 1903 from WW2 era. It's serial range is 330xxxx, with barrel rollmarked 4-42. The replacement stock is stamped faintly with "RA" and Inspection stamp of "FJA" in a square...
I have a 100yrd rifle shooting bench off my back deck. I took this 1917 and fired some rounds downrange and just fell in love with it! It is a very easy shooting rifle! I enjoyed it and didn't even...
No worries on modifying anything, I'm a leave them as issued type of guy. I have other Hunting rifles that are purpose built from the start. I have no desire to screw up military weapons.
Yes, by all means it's a long and heavy rifle and even longer with bayonet attached. I'm retired and would never have to sling one on and patrol anymore. Just sit here and remember all the warriors...
Just received it today. Very nice bore for a 1918...
So can someone tell me how and when a USGI Keystone C Stock was installed on a Remington 03A3? I want to increase my knowledge about the one I acquired.
Well maybe I need to put on my thinking cap. I don't remember sending any shot out barrels back to higher echelon repair after shooting tens of thousands rounds out of M16's back in the day while in...
So, let me hazard a guess, this rifle left Remington sometime after 1942 and the barrel installed after 3-43 on it's receiver. Probably on a Service straight stock and it made it's way into an armory...
The previous owner offered me a couple of choices to pick from, one was a straight stock Smith Corona, and this one with the C stock for a couple hundred bucks more. Of course I picked the C stock...
Sorry, here's the Keystone "K" stamp.
