Thanks, Jim and Calfed. I did something similar with my M1, but got a little carried away and I think the photo is too busy.

Thanks, Rick. Also, the chart on the Remington Society of America web site matches ViShooter. Which, I misread. The correct date of production on the receiver should be September, 1943. A nice companion to my M1 which is from December, 1942 with a '46 barrel.

Oldguns is incorrect - the table that you checked has been discredited, even by the webowners. ViShooter is correct.

Not really, now we have an idea of some of your stuff...which we like to look at too. You need a correct 1907 sling though. That Uncle Mikes has to go...

Since I took that photo, it has gone, replaced by a web sling that I found hiding at the bottom of my box o' web gear. The leather sling in the photo was attached to my 30-30 for about 20 years and has since returned to it.

The leather sling in the 03-A3 photo came from a flea market and is missing a keeper, so I really need two 1907 slings. (Three if I ever come across a decent M1917.)

By the way, the M3 trench knife in the bottom right of the M1 photo was my dad's (MSGT-USAF, WWII, Korea). So is the canteen and cover on the left. The backdrop is his old pup tent, but reason it's wadded up is that something got into it and ate big holes in it. The rest of the stuff are things that I've acquired over the years, many from when I was a kid, "playing Army".

Too bad you're so far, I have two to go. Thing is, you can probably get them cheaper down where you are...than these.

Love this pic! I try to do allot of equipment based photos myself. Love the rack numbers. Really add character!

It was hanging on the wall behind the counter at a gun shop, and at first glance I didn't like the looks of it with the rack numbers, but it didn't take me long to fall in love with it. It shoots great, too.
