1918 M1903 Found and Pictures

You probably have a WWI vet that may well have gone to France. The stock is pre-WWII and nice. Finding a nice, correct stock(WWI) isn't that hard. $900.00 is at the high end of the '03 range. At $600.00 I would be looking real hard. At $900.00 I'm walking away.

The stock is indeed a National Match stock.

JB, Whats a NM stock like this worth? Would a nice non sanded SA stock from 1918 with markings on it be worth way more? , Jay

I got the rifle in yesterday, really nice rifle. The 1918 barrel looks amazing. I wouldl ike to take the NM stock off the rifle and put a SA WW1 stock set back on the rifle.

Are any of you guys looking for a NM stock that might have a SA stock that you would want to sell or trade? I can post pictures later today , Jay

Did you find any markings on the NM stock besides those you showed in the picture? Like a serial number on the bottom of the stock near the butt swivel?

Beginning in 1931 you could order the C type stock through the DCM, and beginning in 1932 you could order the service rifle with the C stock.
This is the list of stocks available to NRA members in the 1931 DCM price list.

Talk about an investment in price. John Beard and a few others confirmed its NM status.

Heres pictures of what I have found so far. ,Jay

And another question for the experts , would this stock be correct for a 1918 SA 03'?

The second stock looks like a pre-1910 "high-wood" that has had stock screws added during rebuild.
