Arrived today, a 1903 Rock Island. Low number serial 140000. Came with an AV 3-19 Barrel. The stock was sporterized (needs to go). The receiver and all of the other metal still has around 80 - 90% finish. Has signs of use on the follower and on the internals of the receiver but the finish is really good, really smooth.

The barrel needs to go as the rear sight that's on it is rather crappy and the barrels headspace is too long and turns (hand tight) about 1/8" past where it should. (So watch the EE soon). Barrel is in good - very good condition with a bit of what looks like surface rust. Was told by the previous owner that the previous-previous owner took the original barrel off and threw this one on.

Some questions:

Which type of stock should I put on it scant or straight with or without handgroove?

Upper Band. With or without the stacking swivel built in?

Windage screw with bevel or without?

Barrel SA, RIA or RA?


Here's the pics.









Looks worse on camera that it really is.
