Thanks. I see Grandpas has the long screw for the front of the 1901 sight. May order a spare. Thought I would try to pick up a spare firing pin but don?t find any available. Loaded up a few 170 grain...

Thanks for the tip! It loosened without much tapping at all. I was expecting something like serrations underneath, not realizing it was a tension lock.
Interesting. Will keep that in mind when I?m hitting the gun shows!. A lot I don?t know about these rifles.
It has a 30? barrel. It?s a 1902 rifle. Just an average service rifle but in fairly decent shape. Muzzles under two and the bore is clean. I used Kroil on it also and nothing moved. Guess I?ll need...
So I picked up a Krag on a trade, my first and only one. From researching, I believe it has a 1901 rifle sight. There is a lever on the front of the sight for wind age that is frozen in place. I...
The first two digits look higher than the middle two, and the two numbers on the right look lower than the middle numbers.I'm not sure you could draw a straight line under any of them.It could just...
Thanks for the help.The rifle shoots to the right and moving the insert should correct that.Just wanted to make sure there was nothing holding it back.Using the staking as an index is a good tip.The...
I need to drift the front sight on a 1917 and cannot see any way other than using a hammer and punch.Is there something I should know before attempting this?I don't see a set screw or pin of any...
Thanks,I appreciate the info.
I have a 2.47 mil SA with a 12-43 bar. and a S-B10 bolt. Rec.heat lot # is A8. If it was yours,would you put a -6 or a -9 curved op rod on it? The best I can tell,it could be either. Thanks
Mr. Beard,Thankyou for your input! I've been curious about that stamping since I purchsed it.Now I know it's Greek!.
Mr. Beard,would the S firing proof be Greek then? I picked this out at N. store for a shooter.It also has a SA/JFC rebuild cartouche.Thankyou!
First time trying to post pictures,please bear with me. I have a Mark 1 shooter that has a S proof stamp along with 2 proof P's,which are probably an original and a rebuild. Any thoughts or info...
..It had that nice green finished rec., blued parts, that set an 03 off.Was it worth that kind of money,probably not,but I paid 300. for mine several years ago.Whose to say this rifle won't be worth...
If the P-47 is the finger groove stock,then I don't have a problem with the scant stock Corsair,or the P38.They are what they are!
