They are busy filling orders. I have been placing inquiries since last January on purchasing a replica scope and rings. Here is this months response:


The parts will not be available until all the backorders
for the distributors are filled, please check back with
us late November - December. Sorry.

If you would like to see what one looks like a link to this auction was posted here last week.

The auction description is misleading. These are not refurbished M1903A4's they are refinished M1903A3 drill rifles, with a replica scope, new manufactured barrel and stock, and an after market low-scope bolt.

For the money it would be very difficult to recreate an equivalent A4 clone if you were starting from scratch. Reenactors or anyone who is just looking for a representative piece could do worse.

the seller tried $12K on this piece in June. About $8000. too high for a rebuild IMO. Then again P.T. Barnum may be alive and well somewhere....

Converted Drill rilfes. They probably traded parts for the Drill Rifles. OK until one blows up in your face. But that is why God gave us 2 eyes.
