Favorite M1903 picture(s)?

[Rick the Librarian]

OK, guys, let's have a little "practical exercise" on posting pictures on this forum. Post your favorite picture or two of your M1903s. You can use thumbnail or just post them direct from a photo-hosting service. Let's see what you have. And I promise...NO AFG**Ns!!



1. This was a "lucky shot" of two of my low numbered M1903s on a downstairs rug. The light was just right. On top is SA #144408 with what looks like an original finish receiver and SA 05 barrel. Below is a nice RIA rebuild. Only problem with the RIA is someone D&Ted it years ago.



2. This is a picture of a "classic" British Remington M1903. I spent quite a bit of time getting the light just right. To answer the obvious question: No, it doesn't belong to me, but I sure wish it did!!

A number of years ago I purchased two 1903's that had had rough lives overseas. At the time WWII replacement 2 groove barrels were available cheap, as were virgin scant stocks. I reparked both. The '03 A3 was kept stock and used to qualfiy at my DCM club. I removed (and saved) the sight base for the Remington 1903, and put a rail on it for a red dot sight. It never worked right. Two years ago I got interested in it again, and realized that cheap red dot sights have real bad paralax problems. I then put an Eotech on it. It now shoots great, and is my Elk rifle

Well > it didn't work the way I did it the other day. I guess I will have to "Read Instructions" again.

It seems this is; "another way"!!!

Remington M1903 No. 3017550 w/12-41 barrel and M1905 Bayonet (SA 1920). Not necessarily my favorite picture or rifle but one I have not shown in a while.

Apparently ALL the pics I have on my 'puter are too big to upload here.
'Dunno how to resize them down to acceptable size.
Might be I have to post pics from an "off-site" URL, eh? --Jim
