What a neat idea. Where do you get the "adaptor" cartridges?
Thank you. So the S evidently has nothing to do with Springfield Armory.
I have asked this question before, maybe not here, but I don't think that I have ever gotten an answer.
I have a Springfield 1903 made in 1910, and it has the proper single bolt stock.
Problem is, ...
The only one that is an actual dollar is the one with the 1903, as in the original photo. The others are silver "medals", and they are neat too.
The US Mint is issuing a commemorative silver dollar for the end of the of the first world war that shows a US soldier or marine holding an 03. 42991
I would like to buy a two bolt type S 1903 stock to replace a 1903A3 "type C"stock on a 1903 shooter. It does not have to be a collectible or well cartouched item, but it should be solid and...
Thanks again. I'll follow that advice.
Thanks John. That pretty much settles it. I wonder if I can use it on a rifle? I'll have to see. Happy New Year.
The thought occurred to me, but it seemed like a lot of work and expense to me to plug the stock, then to add two stock bolts. That might have had to be done in two separate periods, decades apart. ...
I recently came across a 1903 stock which I had forgotten I had. I have had it for at least 20 years, so I don't remember where I got it. It has been sanded heavily so the finger grooves are there,...
Our next door neighbor wanted me to teach her 16 year old son how to shoot a rifle. I explained that I felt he ought to learn first on an open sighted rifle, and the only .22 I have here has a scope...
France has really succeeded in improving their military museums. On a trip there this month, I visited the newly refurbished museum/memorial at Toulon for the landings on the Mediterranean coast...
These were purported to be original drawings of the Navy Lee4029040291
I got them as sort of gift from the dealer from whom I bought my Lee.
These are what we called reproducibles where I used...
It shoots quite well aimed at 6 o'clock on an SR-1 repair center, at 100 yards, with the rear sight set at the minimum of 200 yards. After years of shooting the '03. the trigger on the 1917 sure...
That explains it!
Oh. I agree. But the incursion into Mexico in 1916 was somewhat of a dress rehearsal for deployment, or so some historians tell us.
From what I read, the inefficiency continued right up to, and...
I think that many of us have read of the shortage of 03 Springfields in the US Army at the time of our entry in WW1, and the use of the 1917 rifle and even Krags to ameliorate that shortage.
I find...
I have not taken it out in years, but I am loading some imitation 150 Grain GI ball to try it out. I'll let you know.

I bought this rifle from a friend, now sadly deceased, 28 years ago. It was his father's. The paperwork says "cleaned and repaired". As all parts are...
Quite possibly the flaming bomb was a Spanish mark at one time. My 1893 rifles, which are originals from the 1898 war period, possibly captures, do not have the bomb. None of my Argentine rifles or...
I'll look at my rifles after I get back from where I am for Christmas.
I have since checked some 1891 Argentine Mausers I have, as well as two 1893 Spanish, and one 1893 Turkish. The half moon appears on the Turkish model near that spot, and does not appear on the...
According to Webster, the "half moon" which he shows as a sketch, was a standard Argentine acceptance mark. I would not think a half moon as shown is a definitive Turkish mark, though it may...
Apparently, Cuban militia who took the part of the Spanish government rather than that of the rebels, were armed with Remington Rolling Blocks in 11mm and/or 11mm reformado. I doubt if the American...
