    1903 Springfeile Mark 1

    I pick up this 1903 Springfield Mark 1 at a gun show in Oregon a few weeks ago. It seems to be correct as far as I can see. I wanted to get a Mark 1 before the price go's out of reach. I also have a nice Remington O3A3. I accidentally posted this in the wrong category so here it is in the 1903 category.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    I may be wrong but that looks like a Remington 1903 hand guard. Mark 1 stocks are very difficult to find even with rebuild stamps

    Remington 1903 handguards have a 'high bump' look to them. The is evidence Remington made 'regular' handguards, possibly after the end of M1903 production. As stated in Brophy, 50% of rifles returned for repair needed new handguards. Does the Mk1 have the special sear as well?

    hand guards

    My first photo shows a Springfield WW1 period hanguard which also has the fixture slot inside (most of them had this slot, never on a Remington handguard)

    My second and third photos show Remington handguards as identified by John Beardicon on jouster2 last week. The "hump" is different from the early SpringfieldAttachment 98326Attachment 98327Attachment 98328
