1922,service rifle.Looks nice.What is the serial number? I have #9742 with 10-26 barrel and a J5 bolt.Does your rifle have the trap in the butt?Lee W.

They're all nice! But how does it shoot with what seems to be a low (short) front sight blade? Mine (s/n 10,000 something) has a standard M1903 blade and shoots penny to nickel sized groups at 25 yards with the Lyman sight cranked up 5 clicks. Just curious, B

This is 50 rounds I shot at 25yds this ajternoon. I've decided I like the rifle.

I really like mine. My 25 yard group typically looks like one shot from a 30 cal., and that's free hand.

Thanks guys, as for the front sight I know it's a little short. The plan is to replace it. The butt plate does not have the trap in it. The serial # is 11344. If you go up to the original post there should be a link to more pictures at photobucket. I'm hoping to take it out by this weekend. This one has not been upgraded to a M2. TYhe real question I have is about the D&T holes for a scope.

Thanks,

Jim

It may help you to determine if the scope block holes are factory applied if you remove the front-most plug scew in the receiver ring.
Peer down into the hole (with a bright light) and see if you can see the portion of the barrel thread at the bottom of the hole.
If the thread is present, you probably have a factory-applied set of block screw holes.
If the hole shows no barrel thread at the bottom, then my guess is you have a "post-armory" applied D&T situation. --Jim

Loy, you're by far a better shot than I. I use the back of a wooden patio chair or sometimes a saw horse as a rest. At best I get 4 of 5 holes in a penny grouping, but offhand is another challenge altogether. But at least I have eliminated my woodpecker problem! It's an expensive rifle to use for killing pests but I sure look good when doing it. And that's a neat pic of James Doolittle! B
