Remington 1903 Build..

[Calif-Steve]

Start bidding on Ebay and start visiting the big gunshows in your area. You will learn fast. One more thing, call DuPage Trading in Phoenix. Jim is a good guy and will try to help.

Thanks for the advice Steve, Checking out DuPage right now.

A correct stock would be a "straight", non-grasping groove with pins, not stock bolts, with an FJA stamp and a high hump handguard without a capsule-shaped fixturing slot on the inside. Such stocks, while not as easy to obtain as they were a few years back, can still be found. As BAR suggested, you can find a M1903A3 stock with pins, which would be an acceptable substitute.

Rick, I found a Scant "stright" stock looks like it had bolts though and not pins; not sure... Should this be acceptable for my 1903?

"Scant" straight stock is sort of a contradiction in terms! A "Scant" stock was one with a "semi" full grip stock; a straight stock was just that.

But would it be appropriate to use with my [1942] 1903 Springfield (Remington)?

[Rick the Librarian]

Will it fit and work? Yes; Is it original to the manufacture? No.

Rick, Thanks again.. I found a Straight stock with pins for $125.00 so I'll just get it when I return from the Philippines (if he still has it) it the gun shop doesn't have one cheaper. I was going to try and pick one up in the Philippines but I guess you can't bring USGI parts back in the country anymore.

Tell me all about it - the Philippines in early WWII is my "specialty". Had a Rock Island M1903 that a guy over there was willing to sell - but found out the same thing - no imports.

I visited Bataan and Corregidor in 2014 - a trip of a lifetime!!
