    NRA Sporter question

    A lucky freind of mine has inherited what's been confirmed to be a 1903 NRA Sporter model and he's asked me to help find some small parts. The rifle is complete and unaltered except that the sling swivels have been removed for reasons known only to Grandpa. Am I correct in thinking that these swivels are the same items used on the standard '03 military model?

    Fortunately the band is still there. This should be a pretty easy fix. Thanks.
