This is my first photo try; I hope it works. This 03 is a 4-25 dated barrel springfield, ser#12484xx, with front scope block, and drilled and tapped for rear block on rear sight base. No scope. I've hade this rifle since 1962.

Jim,

Your computer's photo software should have a means to reduce the resolution of pictures. On mine, there is a tab for "Image"; I click on that and one of the options is "resize" and it allows me to cut down the resolution.

For example, my digital camera takes a "raw" picture of about 3 Mb. If I posted it here, even assuming this forum would accept it, it would even take the DSL guys forever to see the picture displayed. What I do is cut the pixils down from roughly 2000x3000 to about 600x900, or, if you're showing the whole rifle, to about 200x1000. That gives you somewhere in the 50-100 Kb range in size. It still shows reasonable detail but doesn't take forever to download.

If you want to save the original picture, when you cut it down, do a "Save As" and not a "Save" when you're done cropping it. I identify the picture by the original name or number with a "LR" at the end [low resolution].

HTH!
