My new 03

[3ky]

Your right about the number. It has a 4 stamped behind the trigger guard which is in front of the script P. Also right about the curved 7s on the sight leaf. Is the H stamped on the bayonet lug correct for a RI? I wonder if i should try to make it correct? I had fun doing a late war Inland M1 carbine. I don't know I'll probably leave it be. Least its not a WW2 rebuild. It has most of its WW1 parts. Any guesses on the bolt?
Thanks for letting me know and teaching me something.

Hey Michael,

Don't dare do a thing to your fine rifle, except clean the metal with Hoppe's and a nylon brush, then add oil. I wouldn't touch the stock. Strip the bolt, clean it and grease the mainspring. Bolt info is on Vishooter.com. It would be nice if you would post a full right, left side photo of the rifle if that is not too much trouble. Think the "H" on the lug is right, don' change anything, you got a fine rifle. Shoot!
