Sorry to hear your troubles. I shot competitive for about 10 years and Krieger barrels were all I used except for one Douglas M1A barrel that lasted 1500-2000 rds. Built my Win 70 match rifle with...

Don't have SRS list to help out on that question. Would presume barrel and receiver are correct for each other. Bolt and rear sight to me are not correct. Could be a late "put together" or"inspected"...

Here is one that is on a 1920 SA 1903. Do not proclaim this to be "original" to the rifle, but as an example of one that is not on a M1917. They do not seem to appear often except on M1917s from my...

Stand back, I'm going in..................not! Regards, John.

That is pretty cool. Have no idea of value or history, but quite a rifle regardless. That would of peaked my interest had I found it. Thanks for posting, even if I am clueless to what it is! Regards,...

Had RIA #406225 with SA 8-28 marks reasonably sharp and readable and #1323884 with SA 12-28 not particularly faint and readable. Hope this helps. Regards, John.

Rick were there any Marines on New Guinea? The last of my WW2 vet uncles passed away not long ago he was in the 32nd {Army} and was a changed man after that. Came back with some serious issues which...

Fred kind of what I thought. Can't remember who had such a nice data collection but quite a few MK1's near mine had the same barrel date. I bought the rifle quite a while ago and it is nice, but I...

I have #1106325 that I bought back before computers informed the world what was correct and what wasn't. Was told that it was a rebuild because the barrel date was off from production of the...

I have SA #1406381 with 5/32 star gauge barrel. I am pretty confident this barrel is original too and correct for time frame. Don't claim to be "Mr Knowledge on NM 03s" either. I guess my earlier...

Without pics it is hard to tell Screech, but it sounds like a poorly stamped WL3. Most of those bolts were poorly stamped from what I remember and often do not look like WL3. Might try posting a...

Quite possible. During the depression and same era of NS receiver production, the barrel/ receiver match up was often off. Military production of complete rifles were way down and civilian sales were...

Could experiment with liquid nitrogen by dipping the breach end. Those rascals are tight. Just replaced an axle on a logging steam locomotive a few weeks back using heat and liquid nitrogen. I think...

Cool. Was going to make something like this years ago when I was hoarding 03 parts and had bought barrel stubs with the rear sight bases on them. Those buggers are on there, I got them off but having...

Won't try and pretend I know the answer to some questions here. But the star mark looks old, but is totally not US arsenal star gauge, in my not so humble opinion. There was a small gun show company...

Built two 03a3s a number of years back, both are fine. Buddy built two also and shot his much more than I have, his are good too. The only thing is depending on how much nickel rod they burned into...

How about this one! SA #1438179 {SA 4/1930 barrel} CMP presentation/awards rifle. Shot a gold medal that year, but "Adobe Wall" won the 03 match that year. He won the match, I won the rifle. Ha!...

Thanks for looking. Actually the story on the rifle is he turned in his low numbered RIA for a replacement receiver. Decided to upgrade, he kept his original bolt as they were slicker than the N.S.....

I know Frank Mallory did an awful lot for us collectors and has since passed on. Is there any ongoing changes to the serial number research or documentation?

I have always wanted to research this...

Recall having problems with 03a3 followers in 03's. Was a long time ago. I just quit using them. As far as stripper clips go, Griff M and Jim in SLC are spot on. I shot a match bolt gun and also...

+1 on the GSG 1911. It shoots all ammo and is good practice. Just a blast to shoot. Don't know why I do not shoot it daily. Kind of forget about it I guess.

From what I saw of the Stg-44 it was...

Don't have a picture of my Unertl 12 power Varmint #61074 which I think is from the mid 1970s? Mine is 2" and 24" long. Have a 2" 20 power Target that is new in box from early 1970's and an older...
