Last night, I pulled out my 03 and ran a brush through the bore.
I followed it up with a dry patch, and it looked like dry, black powder
fouling on the patch. It looked like lampblack, it was so...
Frederic, I am doing the same thing.
If the stock your friend is offering is a finger grove stock,

If the spring is fully...

reporting to be blamed on the receivers?
I have seen pictures of the...

being reduced to component parts during a rebuild.
How complete is the rifle? Are the parts milled or stamped?

Is it my imagination, or is the stamp on the root doubled?
My opinion is, it doesn't look right, and doesn't look like any A4 bolt I have seen before.
My 1903 Springfield did not have an A1, but it did have 'Mark I' under the model.
My RIA has 1903, with no A1 after the model.
It seems to be many different ways to mark a receiver....

I agree, especially with the litigation possibilities...
But I still shoot mine.
I shoot my LN 03 with all kinds of commercial and my own reloaded cartridges.
Two things cause the failures, bad brass, and obstructed barrels.

Does your extractor allow the round to slide up onto the bolt face?
You should be able to slowly push the bolt forward and watch the

Minus the $200 price tag...
